A mother holds her starving child in a painting by an unknown artist, found under a railway bridge. It reminds us that this hunger exists because of our world.

Every once in a while I get a message asking if the books I post are for sale. I got one yesterday and realized I’m way over due for a 411 style post so here goes -

I am an interdisciplinary artist, set decorator, yoga teacher and single mother born in Brooklyn, NY.

I am a shy introverted nerdy day dreaming soft hearted Aquarius. A film fanatic, dance junkie, Black Feminist Womanist femme, lover of art, nature, music, books, and Black culture.

I started a literary project called The Free Black Women’s Library in 2015, it’s a mobile pop up and biblio installation that centers and celebrates the work of Black women writers, monthly sessions feature workshops, authors, film screenings, performances, games and dope conversation. All ages, races and genders are welcome to trade books with the library. Books written by self identified Black women only, books written by Black non binary and GNC folks are also welcome. For every book you bring, you get to take one this your books are your currency!! 🙌🏿📚

All genres accepted!!

I take photos of people with their book trades for my archives, I love taking photos of people w/their trades and consider it an integral part of this work which revolves around the brilliance of Black women, community engagement and liberation thru literature.

There are now TFBWL libraries in 4 other cities, which is AMAZING!!! Sending deep LOVE to my co ministers in this work, mighty gorgeous branches of this glorious tree in Houston @thefreeblackwomenslibrary_htx

Detroit

@thefreeblackwomenslibrary_det

Atlanta

@thefreeblackwomenslibrary.atl and extra special big birthday love to Los Angeles @thefreeblackwomenslibrary_la which turns one today!!! AYE!!🎂❤️🎉📚

The library is funded through Patreon, I have TFBWL angels who donate $2 to $50 a month. This money goes toward the labor, storage, transportation, PO box and other costs. Also funded through t shirt, poster and other merchandise sales.

It is nowhere near enough but I am hopeful and deeply motivated with goals of a book mobile and storefront space in mind!! I imagine it as a radical co working space, reading hub and resource for all.

If you would like to support the vision please consider becoming a Patreon patron.

Thank you!! 📚🖤🙏🏿

"Sacred Inhibitions" another piece from the series about femme sexuality and the taboos associated with it. We all have a right to our bodies, and the fight is far from over. #art #artwork #cyanotype #printmaking #feminism #socialart #artist #politics #AFAB #bodyrights #birth control https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxa06vhA4zw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nlggl9h6ite7

This week's Guest Curator is none other than our friend, Annica Lydenberg! Also known as @dirtybandits! Annica is no stranger to Goodtype. We've had the honor of hosting two workshops together while also featuring her fabulous work in our latest book, "Goodtype: The Art of Lettering!" Dirty Bandits is a actually the name of her Brooklyn-based design firm specializing in typography, lettering and illustration. Work done by Dirty Bandits is fueled by Annica’s deep appreciation for type, her interest in story telling and dedication to brands and individuals working for social good. Annica is also a wonderful mural maker and sign painter. She is also a lover of puns and 90s hip hop! With that said, Annica, TAKE IT AWAY! #strengthinletters #goodtype #guestcurator #goodtypeguestcurator #lettering #muralist #nyc #brooklyn #handlettering #type #typography #handtype #typespire #typism #typegang #typographyinspired #desgin #art #graphicdesign #socialart #artforgood #typedesign #dirtybandits #mural #streetart #signpainting #alwayshandpaint https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNE9mDnvgM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u91hgu9vuqdw
