The Lakeview Crew #8: Halloween Spooktacular!

Emma Rust is a mixed race, Asian American comic artist, organizer, and advocate based in Portland OR. Through comics and illustration, they tell stories that unpack their personal exploration of identity, community, trauma and healing, movement work, and radical futures. Rust’s focus on capturing the vulnerability of the human experience within a social justice lens invites the reader to recognize their positionality in society while also discovering their areas of growth, places of resonance, and spot in the greater movement to liberate ourselves from violent systems.
