A Teenager With Promise
Powerful
This is Alexandra Bellâs work for her series called âcounter narrativesâ who is an incredible artist from Chicago (now based in NYC, I believe) who revises mainstream media pieces about Black people to actually reflect the reality of Black folks and to make white media bias visible. She has one about Serena Williams and the whitensupremacist who attacked demonstrators in Charlottesville with his car.
Bell visited and spoke at the art museum I used to work at and put her work up across the university campus. Sheâs a fkn icon. Follow Bellâs work.
