Hush Harbour is dedicated to the imagining of Black feminism in the tradition of Octavia E. Butler. We create and envision Black futures through literary and sonic storytelling with an emphasis on the revival of short fiction.
Black feminism is our constellation — the pathway towards liberation. Our guiding map along the way as we experience Black joy, suffering, kinship, sisterhood and love.
In this framework, we are rooted in a deep understanding of oppressive systems and barriers against us. And still we resist. Among the many nuanced stories within Black communities, Hush Harbour seeks to build a home for all our histories and create a platform beyond binaries and borders. Our Black feminism must be readily available to the working class, the mother, the academic, the youth in transition, the cousin and everyone in between. We believe Black culture will heal us and storytelling is one step in the direction towards healing
