Dispatches from Planet Love

Back to Shop

One minute it was Ohio summer, with the sticky, wet heat that strips you down to a thin t-shirt and bare feet, terrible gray skies inherited from Canada fires, the distant squeals of trains, the hum of Metro busses, folks hollering on cell phones, and the raucous buzzing of cicadas in the sparsely timbered streets of Camp Washington, Cincinnati. Next thing we knew, the 12 of us, strangers to one another, ventured into an experience that would hold unanticipated and unparalleled connections, extensive art making and creative expression, and lessons in navigating our world, and even the universe, as owners of bodies.

And so begins Dispatches from Planet Love.

Celebrate the work of 12 female identifying or gender expansive youth who worked at The Well over the summer on a book, mural and exhibition featuring art, writing, photography and connection around themes important to these young artists.

Dispatches from Planet Love is a 100 page document of empathy, creativity, connection and inspiration, with pages available for your own writing and art making. Writing, art, photography and sooo much love.

Support youth mental health and future Planet Love inspired projects with your purchase.
