TOYON is the student-run platform for literary, spoken, and visual art at Cal Poly Humboldt, established in 1954. Toyon recognizes the transformative potential of art in the interconnected struggles for social and environmental justice while also acknowledging the role that writers, artists, and cultural institutions continue to play in maintaining the status quo. We understand that art has the power to either oppress or liberate.
Toyon chooses liberation.

Thank you for attending the Toyon 72 Release Party! This issue was on the theme of Sumūd, which refers to a constellation of Palestinian social practices that emphasize everyday acts of resistance and survival under settler-colonial rule. This theme invited all writers and artists to share their own stories of steadfastness while imagining a liberated future.
