[ARTS + CULTURE] My name is Chloe Peterson, I’m your favorite photojournalist’s favorite photojournalist, and I’m going to serve exactly what you want… a review of Chappell Roan’s Capitol Hill Block Party set.

In case you’re new here, Chappell Roan is the reason the streets of Capitol Hill ran pink, as the biggest gathering of q***r people I’ve ever seen outside of pride formed to welcome the Midwest Princess to Seattle. Roan is one of pop’s current biggest icons, boasting five tracks currently on the Billboard Hot 100 after her meteoric rise to fame after a string of incredible festival performances this year. She also happens to be one of my favorite musicians, so I feel well equipped to walk you through her set.

Think of this as a crash course for the uninitiated, a review tinged with my years of being a fan, as well as the starting place for a much larger and more involved piece about the costs of fame.

[ARTS + CULTURE] On May 5, as I observed the sea of tarps enveloping the Quad, I was met with a visual that seemed — on first impression — out of place. On the western end of the Popular University for Gaza (Popular University) liberated zone, a small group of children ran around, several of whom were covered in paint.

The paint — primarily red, green and black — had come from the Popular University’s art zone.

The art zone, and the art tent within it, has played host to workshops, personal crafts, and children’s art projects since its creation in the first hours of the Popular University’s establishment on the Quad.
