lunilah is a multidisciplinary collective of care. We’re queer neurodivergent friends who like to take walks and make stuff. From risograph-printed to handsewn, our zines interweave oral histories, family photographs, archives, friendship, textiles, and various hyperfixations of course. Our most important work is in our relationships with community / land / species / the unknown. From these connections we prioritize slow craft <3
BODIES OF WATER
Commissioned for the 2025 Transmissions Quilt Project, BODIES OF WATER (textile) is a pair of patchwork curtains with an embroidered 14-line poem. Each line is excerpted from an interview with a quilt recipient. The curtains are currently on view at the Berkley Public Library and will soon travel the country,
BODIES OF WATER Zine
This zine is a companion piece to the textile curtains. The zine gives more context to the poem and contains longer excerpts from each interview.
PS
Ps is a collaborative zine Lune wrote poems and Aly created blackouts from the poems. It is an abstract conversation over time and a meditation of friendship. The poems play off of each other and tell a story together. Each zine is riso printed and the blackouts are cut by hand.

THE CODE OF STONES
An introduction to asunals (ceremonial stone landscapes) across New Jersey and Lenapehoking as told by Ramapough Lunaape Turtle Clan Mother Michaeline Picaro.
100% proceeds from this zine are donated to the Ramapough Turtle Clan Nation / Munsee Three Sisters Medicinal Farm in Newton, NJ.
“You can drive down Route 206 when the leaves are off, and I can show you in plain sight how many stones there are along the ridges. You don’t realize they’re connected from site to site, town to town. They’re all a continuation. Everything is connected. The trails are connected to the spiritual centers. The spiritual centers are part of the trails. These trails are part of hunting and water trails. They all are incorporated together. You can kind of decipher each, but an integral part of the land is that the land is part of us. There is no dissociation or disconnection. It’s an appendage of us. There’s always that incredible connection. You can’t always explain that. These stones were all prayers and have continually been prayers to the creator for allowing us to live on this beautiful land and to be blessed with an abundance of everything we need, from medicine to food.”
— Ramapough Lunaape Turtle Clan Mother Michaeline Picaro
