PRIDE ISN’T A FAD.
It is visibility—for the marginalized, for the undervalued, for the unseen, and for those who feel scared to be seen.
Vessel is an inclusive publication, celebrating the vibrant culture of a place that meshes traditional and modern ways, that bears a legacy of craft that continues to reverberate. But the South is more than things made—it’s history in the making. It’s our people who are continually shaping its edges and feeling its scars.
This publication is both a container and a conduit—a vessel—holding and connecting the stories of all lives.
May we keep evolving for the better.
