What is astronaut heart?

Astronaut Heart is a comic project that explores interconnected realities, technology, identity, and healing.

Who are you?

My name is Devon Serket. I’m a queer and transgender artist who grew up in small town Ontario, and have lived and worked in Toronto for 10 years. I worked in a non-profit as a peer support worker for 5 years while getting a degree in illustration from OCADu, graduating in 2019.

Why do this?

I hope my experiences of navigating heartbreak and trauma can resonate with people who are like me, struggling along on this seemingly endless path to recovery, connection and finding safety. Astronaut Heart is the story of coming back to yourself and finding radical trust in the process of living.

I want to imagine new, radical worlds

It’s my hope that interacting with these topics of identity and healing will build a community that wants to explore these ideas and in doing so generate real, radical change.

In the future I want to explore community care, anarchism, mutual aid, supporitng indigenous communities and sustainable structures so we can continue to live and thrive on this planet.
