Read the newsletter in its entirety here.
It’s Art Week in Miami and Pigment International is proud to again bring you a capsule of the activities around Black art. The city literally vibrates with Black creativity and considering the current state of politics — anyone for taking Ghana up on that citizenship offer — it’s clear there will be statements made, and no bananas involved.
igment International is adopting — ART | ACTIVISM | ELEVATING BLACK WOMEN — as its ‘north star’, for 2025. More to come.
Tag Pigment International in your Miami pics and we might include them in our next newsletter. And remember not just art, the fashion in Miami is always off the chain, and don’t forget shoes.
