"Created during the COVID-19 pandemic, No Ducks’ mission is to publish and promote diverse student and emerging art writers and critics with ties to Mount Allison University and the Atlantic Region and Wabanaki Territories.

​

In a culture riddled with fast-paced, doomsday messaging, how can the process of building one’s identity with others be an act of resistance? How can embodied care become a refusal of the apocalypse and an affirmation of queer futures? For those who often feel out of place, how can we redefine belonging? This year’s issue of No Ducks explores these questions and more as five emerging art critics and writers engage with definitions of queer space in nature through the theme of reintroduction. Edited by Chloe Lundrigan, this year’s issue features the writing of Isra Amsdr, Flora Chubbs, Lexi Delong, and Riley Small, and covers a wide range of topics, including rubble species, Third Spaces in nature, and dismantling colonial capitalism."
