In 2015, Chelsea Manning and I collaborated on an artwork titled Radical Love in which I created portraits based on DNA extracted from her hair clippings and cheek swabs.

Suppressed Images is a graphic novel we wrote together to advocate for her release from prison. The comic illustrates how our collaboration took place and ends with a speculative frame imagining what future might unfold.

The story was published the morning before Chelsea’s commutation w as announced, and we are delighted that the future we envisioned finally came true with her release on May 17, 2017.
