Today, I decided to go on an Artist Date before heading to work and visited Daren Todd's murals around Portland. He's a black and queer artist and I first heard of him when someone shared his James Baldwin mural on their social media. And, of course the way I am, if I want to see one thing by someone, I check their website and decide to see all the work. Check out Daren Todd's website to see more of his art.
And I also stumbled upon some Floral Heart Project art installations- part of 100 nationwide "recognition of those we have lost to COVID-19 and in support and love for all of those suffering."
I love that art can be used to speak up, speak out, inspire, raise awareness, and heal.
