We are deeply saddened by the passing of Betye Saar who passed away on July 26th, only four days before turning 100 years old.

Saar was a celebrated contemporary American artist (1926 - 2026) and leading figure of the Black Arts Movement in the 1970s. Through visual storytelling, Saar’s assemblage work often confronts American racism, colonialism, and stereotypes of Black people in this country.

We’re strengthening our LGBTQ+ friends who have lost loved ones,Those who were killed in camps,Those who can’t even afford to say a proper farewell.

Today, a lesbian sister lost her sweet mum, the one person who never abandoned her.

It’s so painful to grieve when you can’t go back to your own country.

When home isn’t safe.

Let’s also stand in solidarity with those we’ve lost here in Gorom, and back in Kakuma Camp in Kenya.

May their souls rest in peace.

We continue to ask UNHCR to speed up our resettlement processes,

so we can get to safety, where we can live with peace and dignity.

Hold each other. Grieve together. Don’t let them be forgotten.

Thank you, Koji Suzuki, for giving the world one of the most unforgettable legends in horror history.

To honor his legacy, I portrayed Sadako Yamamura holding red spider lilies (higanbana), a flower in Japanese culture that symbolizes farewell, remembrance, and the gentle passage into the afterlife. Rest in Peace. 🕊🕯

Dianne Feinstein arrived in Washington, D.C. in 1992 and became the longest-serving female senator and the longest-serving senator from California.

As California Senator Alex Padilla said, “It would be impossible to write the history of California politics, it would be impossible to write the history of American politics without acknowledging the trailblazing career of Sen. Dianne Feinstein.”

Thank You, Akira

Rest in peace, legend...

I knew I'd sworn you to be mine

Although you were breach I knew you'd be fine

Through all the years I loved you to death

All until you took your final breath

The day you left I sobbed

I felt as if my heart had been robbed

But now you're a soul

Knowing your happy keeps me whole 🩵

Little poem I wrote shortly after losing my baby<3

Rest in peace to my sweet boy, I still put flowers on his grave
