#Super-Girl Sunday: Fridacashflow
What's better than hanging out your best friends? Maybe making art with your best friends is even better. Artist and activist Gabrielle Richardson is part of a growing community of young artists of color and sexualities in the art world. The community is nothing other than Art Hoe Collective that showcases a diverse look of different ethnicities and other demographics sharing their point of view of the world with art. You can see just by following them on Instagram, people of color and other preferences show poetry, paintings, drawings, music and dance to express the subjects such as politics, realities of being a person of color, female or just a human being.
Artwork was a birthright to Gabrielle Richardson, also known as a West Indian Artist, as in her Instagram profile @fridacashflow. "I was raised in a family where not only was art an outlet for me, but it was also a possibility," Gaby said to I-D. Gabby has taken it upon herself to educate the world on cultural appropriation, Black Lives Matter, and basically #blackgirlmagic. The 21-year-old with curators Jam and Mars (they met on Tumblr, really?) she set up the Art Hoe Collective, an online platform dedicated to giving black and/or queer artists of colour a voice, and thus challenging the white hetero-normative narrative within the art world. The Art Hoe Collective saw a problem and remedied it in the best way they could. She stands for marginalized groups having a voice and being treated equally to their counterparts cis white men and women. Her personal dreams for the future is to continue being able to showcase the work of all these young artists and do more for them and invest in their dreams work.
