Podcast: Bibi June

This is the front of an artist announcement card for Bibi. The design is styled on an American baseball card. The card has a thin white border and the rest of the card is black with turquoise accents. On the left hand corner, there is a triangular cross section of a photo of Bibi June, a mixed race non-binary person. Bibi is Dutch-Indonesian, with short red curly hair. They wear thin gold-framed glasses and they are looking up into the distance while they rest their head in one hand. A shaft of golden light falls across their eyes. They are wearing a white t-shirt.To the right of the photo, there is the artist's name, Bibi June, pronouns, they/them, and artistic practice, poets & performance maker. Below this is a short artist biography, which reads a poet and maker of strange, spooky and joyful art. Their work focuses on queerness, climate justice, and post-apocalyptic stories. In a turquoise rectangle below this, the card highlights what the artist’s role is within CRIPtic. For Bibi this reads drag-horror, parasociality and power. Below this are the artist’s social media handles @beebejune, @BibiJuneS, and a quote selected by the artist. This reads: Abolish prisons
