I’ve got some new followers so I thought I’d reintroduce myself. My name Lo, my pronouns are they/them and I’m an artist, curator and educator who is both aggressively Midwestern and unapologetically black
In my practice, I’m a multi disciplinary memory worker. I currently in process of launching a small independent press ( keep an eye out ✨.) I believe collaboration is at the root of liberation, let’s print stuff together.
This is a pro-Black, pro-queer, pro-hoe space. I splash around in the radical uses of anger, pleasure and rest.
Free 🍉 and DRC and all seeking justice + freedom
