"Where do we find representation when our identities are redacted from the media? How do we preserve histories others wish to erase? How do we express ourselves when we are unprepared for provocation? We engage in espionage. 

The secret meaning of an encrypted message is reserved for an intimate in-group attuned to the subtleties of their subculture’s anti-language. A green carnation. A stencil of a hissing black cat. A specific pass-phrase, or series of seemingly inconsequential numbers. Each serves as an innuendo to intersectional identities and alternative readings of cultural materials. They are a way to construct safe haven behind enemy lines. A place to exist freely, express love, and organize resistance. I’m grateful to all who resonated with the call and contributed to signal jammers." — Anthony Naimo
