The Equality Fund: Women’s Voice and Leadership Caribbean
This illustration was commissioned by the Equality Fund for the launch of their Women's Voice and Leadership Grants, an initiative that supported 27 Caribbean organizations who represent the LGBTQ community, sex workers, young women and Indigenous women. This piece was inspired by the work of these organizations who recognize that climate change, colonialism, capitalism and sexism are deeply intertwined with gender-based violence in the Caribbean.
Arcanum Magazine, NYC
This cover artwork was commissioned by the Arcanum team for their launch. Arcanum Magazine is a digital and print magazine for creative writing, visual art, cultural criticism and journalism by and for the Black diaspora. They are a global collective of Black creatives making space outside the margins; the storytellers, the healers, the offbeat, and unconventional.
Origins Eile, Ireland
“without community, there is no liberation.” -Audre Lorde.
Origins Eile is a community organisation centering & celebrating queer people of colour in Ireland. These four posters were commissioned to announce their event series that took place as a part of Dublin Fringe festival 2020. This series, entitled “Destiny: A Constellation of Queer Afro-Futurist Visions,” was a collective de-colonial re-imagining that honoured the rich ancestry of Black and Queer Afrofuturist visionaries.
Black Farmer Fund, NYC
The Black Farmer Fund is a community investment fund based in New York that invests in Black farmers and food business entrepreneurs. Their vision is to create a thriving, resilient food economy in which the consumers and producers of this black food ecosystem participate as community wealth builders, to repair black communities’ relationship to food and land. I was commissioned to create an illustration that told the story of their brand and included their multiple stakeholders; from rural and urban farmers to food delivery services to restaurants to food co-ops and of course, their community.
