As artists, we delight in shapes, forms, and tones. What more delight can we get than the human form?

‘Flock Together is a support club combating the underrepresentation of black, brown and other people of colour (POC) in nature. Inclusivity is the main message. There are three main purposes to the collective’s existence; firstly to tackle the representation of POC in nature, secondly providing a creative platform for those people, and lastly, mental health support. Flock Together aims to gain representation for people of colour in green spaces. It also promotes the message that Nature is a universal resource, and thus should be safe and welcoming for everyone. “Together we are reclaiming green spaces and rebuilding our relationship with nature - one walk at a time.”

‘‘Representation is important in every single space not only in “bird- watching”. Our focus with Flock Together is about helping the POC community understand that the “outdoors” is their birthright. A space for healing, support, inspiration and so much more. It’s one of the few places you can go where nothing is required of you. If we are visible in, not only these spaces, but all spaces from which we are prevented access, we will be giving hope and courage to the future generations to occupy said spaces and create new norms in a society which still finds our community missing out from all there is to be benefitted from.’’

We live in a world which prioritises white minds over Black, Brown and ethnically diverse minds. A world which debates the value of POC lives and bodies. A world where being POC is bad for your health (US & World Report, 2016). The idea of wellness and self-care takes on an even more important role in today’s society. The newly launched platform GLOW LIFE, offers Black, Brown and ethnically diverse communities an inclusive space to finding their inner glow.”

"Beauty does not belong to a single, privileged race, I have promoted throughout the world of art the idea that beauty is everywhere. Every race has its own beauty, which differs from that of others. The most beautiful black person is not the one who looks most like us."- Charles Cordier
