Why is instant photography so alluring? Throughout his career, Andy Warhol captured thousands of his social circle with his Polaroid camera. Many people do the same today, capturing their friends and family with instant film cameras. Exploring themes of nostalgia and friendship, Storms and Tuggle ask why the Polaroid has become such an iconic tool to capture memory.

Duet created this collection of blackout poems, a visual art piece as much as it is a literary one, during the COVID-19 pandemic. After “blacking out” most of the words on a page of found text—from newspapers, old books, or magazines—what remains creates new meaning in the form of a poem. Divided into seven parts, the collection explores societal chaos, relationships, hidden histories, self-reflection, spirituality, creativity, and questions of what comes next.
