SUMMARY:Book Signing with Shaniqwa Jarvis
DESCRIPTION:Please join Arcana: Books on the Arts on Saturday\, May 9th\, from 4 until 6 pm\, to celebrate the launch of Shaniqwa Jarvis’ beautiful new book GUTS. \nGUTS (Super Labo\, 2026)\, with an introduction by Essence Harden\, is a 120-page offering of Jarvis’ inner world; an unfolding of florals\, self-portraits\, double exposures\, and editorial images that resist a fixed narrative. Instead\, they function as reflective pauses\, grounded in the act of noticing beauty in unexpected places. \nFlowers signal perseverance and the instinct to grow against all odds\, while editorial portraits blur into self-portraiture\, shaped by Jarvis’ hand and presence. Water\, windows\, and reflections recur throughout\, holding a tension between how we believe we are seen and how we see ourselves. \nMade across South Africa\, Greece\, Korea\, New York\, Japan\, California\, and the Pacific Northwest\, GUTS is a meditation on reflection\, perseverance\, and veneration—of nature\, emotion\, and the quiet moments that shape how we move through the world. \n* Books will be available for sale at the event \n* Shaniqwa will be on hand to sign books and generally make everyone’s day brighter with her presence. \n* If you cannot attend and would like a signed copy of GUTS\, please send Arcana an email. Should there be copies remaining after the event\, we will fulfill requests in the order in which they have been received. \n* Thanks to Las Jaras Wines for their support! \n\n		\n	 \n \n\n \n	\n		\n		\n		\n	  \n	\n		\n		\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n		\n		\n	  \n	\n		\n		\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			\n  \nUpcoming Arcana Events \nSaturday\, May 23rd\, 4:00 – 6:00 pm\nAndrew MacPherson: Synchronicity\nBook Signing \nSaturday\, May 30th\, 4:00 – 6:00 pm\nBruce W.
