This crown materializes a forecast written by Alice, which speaks to migration through the Snakehead Queen, genocide through Ursula K. Le Guin’s ant´s language Queen, and exile through Eve, figures that raise urgent questions: Do you know how to do the right thing? and How does someone give birth to courage?
As Alice reminds us: If 2025 is Snake year, then it’s time to burn.
