On our first day in Jakmel, we went downtown to see an art programme.

While there, we met an American named Flo. I read Flo as some flavour of genderqueer, but not entirely sure of his identification. The artist programme had some relationships to Canadian funding, and I read brochures that mentioned names like Leah Gordon, who I've exchanged email with. Some of our members bought some paintings. The artists were extremely grateful for the business; they hadn't had many visitors. The sky opened up and it rained for half an hour or so, so we hung out and talked with different people there. From the upper floor windows of the studio, we could see the beach.

This announcement of Flo's death really caught me off guard.
