Art is the lens that can see through all the false images of human division and reveal a future of justice, equality and community. Art shows us our true destination. Together, we will find the path that takes us there. This is why I founded Art Justice Cohort.

I believe photos have the power to influence change and aid in the healing process. I strive to tell complex stories through the photographic language with the hopes that truth and honesty will help to propel us forward towards justice.

I imagine a world where Black womanhood is an abundant overwhelming experience of safety, pleasure, and joy. My work draws on my life as a Black, fat, queer, femme, auntie from the Midwest. I am devoted to using radical Black imagination to create stories, art, culture, and community.

My photography is about community and collaboration. It is from this premise that my work is given roots necessary to grow and influence others. Public involvement has always been the key to my success as a photographer.

While covering the protests I have been teargassed, witnessed peaceful protesters brutalized by police, 100,000 citizens march through the streets, the national guard occupy Center City, and black youth lead a new movement of resistance. I have had the privilege to capture all of it and tell those stories through my art. I found my place in the march as someone who can amplify the voices of the people beyond one march or one moment.

Since the first time I held a camera, I’ve been obsessed with capturing and sharing images that reflect the truth, dignity and beauty around me. In 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic and a civil rights movement, I had the privilege of documenting Black life throughout the US. The body of work I produced became my living love letter to Black America, to myself and my son.

My current work addresses injustice, taking the world as a stage, and focusing on different protests and movements that have put thousands of people on the streets to show their discontent and to fight for a more equitable, safe and inclusive world. The work focuses on two characters: heroines as agents of change and nobodies, those who thoughtlessly carry out the oppressive actions of governments trying to maintain the privileges of the few.

My work focuses on social and political commentary, currently highlighting the social justice protests in NYC from 2020.  Using micron pens to create fine, illustrative works on paper. My drawings create the primary foundation for my screen printing process, hand drawing many of the stencils to make multi-colored prints on paper and wood panels.

My work often focuses on my perception of Americana as an immigrant woman of color. I use textile art as a catalyst to explore the ambiguities of language, popular culture, and race.

I am a Colombian visual artist living in Queens, NY. My work uses photography, mixed media and video, with a documentary approach, to serve communities allowing people's voices and stories of resilience, humanity and love to be heard.

I hope for my images to be representations of Black power, Black intelligence, resiliency, and royalty. Not only for my people today, but for my people of tomorrow, while fueled with the energy of my people of the past.

Being mixed race comes with internal struggles. Was I black enough? What does that really mean? My work delves into this personal conflict and how one identifies themself.

I love to walk the streets meeting people and photographing the beauty of everyday life.

I am a New York City-based artist focusing on issues of identity in a multi-cultural and increasingly divided society. I use anonymous believing that it might shield me from discrimination and allow me to express myself freely.

I was born in Havana, Cuba and am a New York-based photographer whose work chronicles issues of memory and the impact brought on by time, politics, technology, and economic forces.

The primary inspiration for “Who’s Your Daddy?” is that I was raised by my Black father, and to this day we have a beautiful, healthy relationship. From that personal reality, I sought to see healthy father-son relationships in the world, particularly given the prevailing narratives of Black father absenteeism. I wanted to reflect an alternative reality.
