Our first published title will be Zoe Dusanne: The Art of Seeing forthcoming September 2026. An expanded biography of prominent Seattle figure Zoe Dusanne (1884-1972). Not only known for her important work in the arts in the 1940s-60s, Zoe was deeply rooted in Seattle’s early Black community and history.
