🙏🏿🌹INTRODUCING ART KINGS & ART QUEENS🌹🙏🏿 Black icons of the art world who paved the way for us today. Be it through music, film, poetry, dance or art- we’ll be sharing some of the most important ground breakers of their times & who continue to inspire

ART QUEEN: GRACE JONES 🎶🎬💅🏿 Nothing short of a pioneer, Grace touched on every aspect of the art world from film, to music to producing & modelling succeeding in every avenue. Jones's androgynous look, also influenced the cross-dressing movement of the 80s.

ART KING: FELA KUTI 🎷🇳🇬 The Godfather of Afrobeats- lest we forget this pioneer who brought us this genre. Multi-instrumentalist, musician, composer & civil rights activist he was considered one of Nigeria’s most controversial & inspirational cultural figures.

ART QUEEN: ASSATA SHAKUR ✊🏾📚 Author & poet but civil-rights activist first & foremost. A former member of the Panthers & BLA, who was falsely convicted of murder. Assata escaped to Cuba & has called out the injustices brought on her & her people by the US government system.

ART QUEEN: JOSEPHINE BAKER 💃🏾🏅 Dancer & singer who took Paris by storm in the 20s. Also working for the French Resistance during World War II, & during the 50s and '60s devoted herself to fighting segregation & racism in the United States.

ART KING: JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT 🔮🎨 One of the biggest art world enigmas from 1980s NYC. Basquiat used social commentary in his art as a tool for identifying with his experiences in the black community of his time, as well as attacks on power structures and systems of racism.
