    Preface 
Welcome to the vibrant, unpredictable world of Slab City California—a place where trials and transformation intersect amidst the desert ruins. In the season of 2024, I embarked on a journey to this otherworldly post-apocalyptic landscape, seeking refuge from the constraints of modern society and discovering profound lessons in resilience and human connection. 
My experiences in Slab City were nothing short of transformative. What began as a quest for escape evolved into a profound exploration of self-discovery and communal living. Here, amidst the remnants of a forgotten military base, I encountered a community unlike any other—a gathering of souls navigating their own purgatories, seeking solace and renewal in the desert expanse. 
As you delve into the pages of this book, you'll join me on a journey of personal evolution and collective wisdom. From the vibrant art installations of East Jesus to the camaraderie of the Oasis Club, each encounter in Slab City left an indelible mark on my spirit. The Slabbers I met—resilient, resourceful, and irreverently creative—taught me invaluable lessons about living authentically and embracing the unexpected. 
Through the trials and tribulations of Slab City, I discovered that true transformation begins with the courage to embrace the unknown and the willingness to connect deeply with others. This book is a testament to the enduring spirit of humanity, a celebration of unconventional living, and a reminder that amidst desolation, hope and community flourish. 
Join me as we uncover the secrets of Slab City, where the mundane fades away and the extraordinary emerges. May this journey inspire you to seek your own path of authenticity and resilience, wherever your adventures may lead. 
Let the metamorphosis begin. Jason

    Designer, activist, and educator Cheryl D. Holmes-Miller is legendary for her  
decades of scholarship and advocacy, and as a touchstone and conscience for the  
design profession. In HERE: Where the Black Designers Are, Holmes-Miller  
documents the history of—and answers to—the question she has been asking for  
decades: “Where are the Black designers?”  
Holmes-Miller explores this essential question through the lens of her own  
development as a designer and leader, beginning with her own family and its rich  
multiethnic history. She narrates her experiences as a design student at Rhode  
Island School of Design (RISD), Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and Pratt  
Institute, leading up to her oft-cited Pratt thesis examining barriers to success for  
Black designers. Holmes-Miller describes the work of her eponymous studio for  
noted clients that included NASA, Time Inc., and the nascent Black Entertainment  
Television (BET), as well as the story of her later critiques of the industry in Print 
magazine and other design publications. Holmes-Miller also recounts the parallel  
history of collective efforts by fellow scholars and advocates over the past fifty  
years to identify and celebrate Black designers. 
HERE is part memoir, part historical investigation, and an urgent call for justice  
and recognition for Black designers. 
“This book is representative of the shoulders on which we, as Black graphic  
designers, stand. These are the legacies we are fighting to uphold and the torches  
we must continue to carry. The journey of the Black designer has not been easy. It  
isn’t easy. And while we may be left out of history books, this is a reminder that we  
are here. Always have been. Always will be.”—Tré Seals, Vocal Type

    In Heavyweight, Jordana Moore Saggese examines images of Black heavyweight boxers to map the visual terrain of racist ideology in the United States, paying particular attention to the intersecting discourses of Blackness, masculinity, and sport. Looking closely at the "shadow archive" of portrayals across fine art, vernacular imagery, and public media at the turn of the twentieth century, she demonstrates how the images of boxers reveal the racist stereotypes implicit in them, many of which continue to structure ideas of Black men today. With a focus on both anonymous fighters and notorious champions, including Jack Johnson, Saggese contends that popular images of these men provided white spectators a way to render themselves experts on Blackness and Black masculinity. These images became the blueprint for white conceptions of the Black male body—existing between fear and fantasy, simultaneously an object of desire and an instrument of violence. Reframing boxing as yet another way whiteness establishes the violent mythology of its supremacy, Saggese highlights the role of imagery in normalizing a culture of anti-Blackness.
