BLACK FIGURATIVE ART

Self-design is key to building identity. Audre Lorde once said, “If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.” After hundreds of years of image making by others imposing their idea of Black people onto our bodies, art gives us the space to push back. Locate a work that feels like the strongest representation of how you self-identify.
