@m0xc4 📸 “Make a body of many layers, me as my body it is a singular mechanism of progress, as a designer I created a body for me with the empty spaces, with no bones to reference, as creative mind I embrace a body in multiple ways, body is a trace, body is a dot, body is a running circle, body is a spot, body is a literal word in space, body is also nothing to be read, so theres nothing to be scared, build a massive sharp in your nose, a bullet in your tooth, a stomach full of real acid words, my body is my magical place, and this magic hurts cus is a great power.” #SupportBlackArt #Mosca #layers #designers #designart #designartwork #blackdesigners #blackdesigner #instacreative #creatives #blackartsupport #blackart #dopeblackart #dopeartist #afroart #blackartistconnected https://www.instagram.com/p/CKkI6UAhc6t/?igshid=zxi462l0sx2j

A D E A L L D A Y by @fahamupecou on Instagram 👑 
(2020) ‘“Ade” means crown in the Yoruba language. But a crown in the context of Yoruba spirituality is much more than an ornate headpiece, it is the physicalization of one’s purpose… one’s direction. A popular adage of Yoruba philosophy asserts that “it is with its head that a fish cuts through the river. It is with its head that the bird pierces the sky”. In other words, head first is how we fulfill our destiny in this life.’” “In this painting, our protaganist dons a crown of cotton. It is an embrace of a legacy that many view as a trauma… But in embracing this cotton crown, and declaring his KINGLY presence, he reclaims the noble labor and majesty of our ancestors. The piece also pays homage to the Orisha Obatala. The chief Orisha, Obatala also represents the head… wisdom, patience, and cool headedness. ADE ALL DAY… because no torture… no weapon… no enemy can ever take away from us what is ours. REGAL is a birthright.” #SupportBlackArt #FahamuPecou

Beautiful Flower Girl artwork by @ekownimako on Instagram 🥀 “The first #flowergirl I built was meant to memorialize all the young black girls who suffer/suffered enslavement, and who are/were violently denied their innocence. Innocence, that is culturally and ceremonially imbued in the role and representation of a Flower Girl. The display of the evolved version of the artwork in @2021visualarts beautiful, cathedralesque gallery was beyond immaculate. For all the precious black girls 🖤” #SupportBlackArt #EkowNimako

“Society’s Glitch” by @its.moofasa on Instagram 🖤 Acrylic on canvas 
Feb. 2019 “I decided to name this painting “Society’s Glitch” as it reflects upon the African-American woman’s experience, specifically those who have darker skin. 
African Americans and black people around the world fear of persecution on the daily for being noticed and at the same time they don’t feel noticed enough in regards to proper self representation.” “It was historically preferential to have chosen a lighter skin or even a mixed heritage black woman to represent all black women in the media. Therefore establishing a beauty standard that did not include natural curly/kinky hair textures or a darker skin color. The natural black woman was labeled as “too distracting” or “ghetto” for no intelligible reason. So then attempting to blend in with the straight blonde wig, blue eye contacts, and skin bleaching, the dark skinned black woman was labeled as “crazy” or “white washed”. Hated for being herself and hated for trying to blend in, society has for the longest demonstrated its frustration with her existence, unknowledgeable on what to do with her, they’d just prefer to ignore her and pretend as though she doesn’t exist. Out of sight, out of mind.” “That is why I’ve decided to pixelate her entire image because we can make out what she is from afar but you cannot see who she is. So you get up close and personal, then you realize you actually don’t really see her at all anymore. Once you realize the complexity of the blocks that made her, you reveal the stunning effort of artistic presence. Just as the dark skinned black woman was/is in the representative media today.” Dear melanated woman, you are art 🖤🖤🖤 #SupportBlackArt #itsmoofasa https://www.instagram.com/p/CKew0ighmN9/?igshid=xxiesiuov05g

Holy Complex by @bybmoore on Instagram 🔥 “I remember growing up in and around the church which I have good and bad memories of. One thing I remember is self image and complex based on instruction, guilt or comments from the church. I always am pretty transparent with my facial expressions. If I’m focused or thinking hard it may look like I’m mad. I remember a church lady saying “child, that frown looks like the devil”. I remember feeling like I was reminded of being a black sheep and that how people view you can influence how you view yourself. I’m a devil child with a God heart; I guess. *give people a positive image of themselves. It could greatly uplift positive outcomes and self images*” 40x50 charcoal, pastel, spray paint, oil stick, oil paint stick, acrylic /// cardboard DM artist if interested! #SupportBlackArt #bybmoore

@aprilbey_ on Instagram 💅🏾 #Repost from @blackwomeninvisualart: 
Not wholly this or that,
But wrought
Of alien bloods am I,
A product of the interplay
Of traveled hearts.
Estranged, yet not estranged, I stand
All comprehending;
From my estate
I view earth’s frail dilemma;
Scion of fused strength am I,
All understanding,
Nor this nor that
Contains me. (Cosmopolite
