Artists For Black Lives Matter
We are a group of artists who want to honor these black individuals who were wrongfully murdered by police brutality, racial profiling, and more. We want to not only memorialize these individuals, but make it known that we will not stand for the current treatment of black people in our world. Many of the individuals we have drawn/painted/illustrated are not known by many people, and we want to change that.
Who we Honored
Unfortunately, we could not honor as many black lives that have been lost as we could. It is even more unfortunate that there are so many black lives that have been lost that we can honor so many.
Each artist was given an black individual who has lost their live from police brutality, racial profiling, and more. We wanted to highlight not how they died, but who they were as people. At the end of the day, we are all people, and the color of your skin, the way you dress, your culture, does not make you more or less of a person.
You’ll be able to find the portraits of these black individuals on Instagram under the hashtag, #artists_for_blm. There, you will find the stories of the people illustrated/painted/drawn, and also some links to where you can donate, sign petitions, and educate yourself on the specific person.
