Community Over Everything
We designed the Community Over Everything bag uniting arts and maths; two elements that usually don’t go together but have a lot in common! We used the symbol for fractions used (ironically) in division to symbolize how if 3 goes into 9 three times, and 6 goes into 12 two times, then community goes into everything we do all the time!

Our foremothers taught us to pursue channels that actively go against an individualistic society in ways that take form in combinations of additions that celebrate synergy. Homie House Press values coalition building as a way to center community and the work we do together above all else. The collaborative process is necessary and fundamentally important. It does not come alone, it takes form in redemption, resounding with collective scars, failures, and glory.

This is the uphill battle of allyship; showing up when you may not fully understand, but you empathize and see the need for change. We protect our community and each other rigorously, through the holding of courageous space with radical tenderness and solidarity. This is our strength and purpose. We believe that person-to-person is the only way we can salvage the divisive methods of this modern age.

There is a specific reason why we call ourselves Homie House Press. Research, production, and creating are only meaningful if we can do them within community. When we met, we found home in each other, and we want to do the same with our collaborators through this secret space and open house for honest content. We wholeheartedly believe that we enhance the greater art world, when we use cooperative approaches. Creating the types of spaces we want to see in the world is slow and uncertain work, but we believe it is crucial. This work reminds us that agency matters, everyone has a story, and the best things in life are forged through community.
