We believe in community through friendship, and knowledge through community. We publish words not only in print, but on everyday and fine art objects. We hope to proliferate theory, cultural mythologies, and the work of emerging/underrepresented writers––areas especially important to us as queer artists of color. We want words in your kitchen and your bathroom and your car (if you have one) and on your body and head and feet (if you have them).
Active Chapter was founded in 2024 by artists Eka Savajol, Lucia Mumma, Max Chu, and XY Zhou.

Born out of childhood nostalgia, an obsession with cultural identity and a love language rooted in food, Anyoung Super is devoted to championing the representation and evolution of Asian American cuisine and culture. Each of our neighborhood superettes in Seattle stock a rotating selection of specialty foods and lifestyle goods carefully curated to highlight Asian and AANHPI brands and designers.
Our Name: In Korean culture, where honorifics are taken very seriously, “anyoung” is the most informal way to say “hi.” In this way “anyoung” is immediately welcoming, giving a sense of closeness, familiarity and warmth. As this is how we hope to receive our customers and how we hope our space will make them feel, “anyoung" felt like a fitting name for our shop.

Hi, I’m the hands behind Rice Studio: a small ceramics brand based in Queens, NYC. I’ve been playing with mud since 2023, shaping and under glazing each piece by hand. What started as a way to slow down my everyday life, has grown into my favorite form of artistic expression.
Every piece I make is inspired by the little things that spark joy in my everyday life and encompass my heritage and culture. I love having the opportunity to create functional pieces based on all the things I love and share them with you all. ✿
At Rice Studio, no two pieces are ever the same. Each one carries its own quirks and imperfections, all part of what makes handmade work feel unique.
