Amplifying Melanated Voices
Jun 11, 2020
Over the last week, we've been sharing the work of some of our favourite Black and Indigenous lettering artists to help amplify the voices of artists of colour.
This challenge was set to us by our Typism Community member Kevin Adams.
Over the week we've had the chance to stop and reflect on this issue. We took the time to look at ourselves and figure out what we can do better within our daily lives. Our team here at Typism is committed to doing the work and continuing to learn and show support for people of colour as we fight for a fair world.
In this post, we wanted to share with you more amazing artists of colour you should check out. If you also have someone you think we should share please message or tag us so we can continue to amplify melanated voices together.
