Your Skin is a Kaleidoscope invites local Black, Indigenous, and Artists of Color to reflect on
the breadth of their stories and experiences, whether lived or ancestral, beautiful or
painful, and respond to the idea with a piece of art that communicates insights and
perspectives that arise from this introspection
“Our skin carries the scars and bruises of our past. But, our skin is abundant. It has the
power to regenerate and repair old wounds. People often mistake our skin for being
monotone, different shades of one color. But, if you pay enough attention, you’ll see how
the light dances and refracts off our skin, like radiant blessings from our ancestors. And if
you look closely, for every red, violet, blue, green, or yellow hue, there is a breadth of
stories, histories, and lessons transmuted from the past to help us create brighter
tomorrows.”
“Of the Sol” is a collective of Black, Indigenous, and Artists of Color cultivating an
intersectional space for all BIPOC artists. The goal of the collective is to foster autonomy,
representation, inclusivity, equity, and accessibility for BIPOC artists. It’s a space of
reclamation and revival, and we work towards collective action through the media of art.
