🔧We’re so excited and honored to share that Art Handlxrs* has been named a Medalist in the inaugural Art Basel Awards!
@artbasel @artbasel.awards ⚒️🛠️
This recognition means so much to us, this is a recognition to the collective Art Handlxrs* and the people we work with and for. 🪜Art Handlxrs* was created to support and uplift BIPOC, women, queer, trans, and gender nonconforming folks working behind the scenes in the arts — as art handlxrs, technicians, fabricators, and essential industry support 💅🏽⛓️💥
Our work is rooted in care 🙏🏽, connection, and creating real and more sustanaible pathways for the people who make it happen, who are often invisibilized and not properly compensated. To be seen on this global level, among other incredible artists, curators and organizations doing bold, transformative work — is deeply affirming.
We’ll be celebrating together this June in Basel, and look forward to continuing the journey as our project of love unfolds in ways we couldn’t have imagined 🫶🏽. Thank you to every single person who’s believed in this project since it was our baby project many years ago. More soon 🖤 and of course, HIRE TRANS FOLKS!
With love,
Art Handlxrs*
