"Don't Say Sky" Broadsheet by Erica Dawn Lyle (Benefit for STRIVE)
Erica Dawn Lyle's poem Don't Say Sky is a powerful response to anti-transgender/anti-queer legislation in the state of Florida. The poem, accompanied by the large format photo series, 6 Photographs Of The Sky Over Cape Canaveral On The Third Anniversary Of Emma Deboncouer’s Death (2021), was originally written for and exhibited as part of 309's "House Show" exhibit at the Pensacola Museum of Art. This new broadsheet was designed and screenprinted in a limited edition of one hundred by students from the Studio Art Department at Oberlin College during Lyle’s week-long residency at the school in October 2025 with the specific intention to be sold as a fundraiser for Florida transgender mutual aid groups.
The proceeds from the sale of the broadsheets will be donated to Pensacola's STRIVE--a grassroots transgender advocacy organization.
The donations are on a sliding scale of $20-100 which includes all postage and packaging. Choose the option that fits best in your budget, but please be as generous as possible.
