in solidarity

***re-direct gallery is dedicated to using its platform to uplift and celebrate BIPOC voices. This space was built to display all mediums and will be moving beyond that foundation to work harder in amplifying voices that have been historically left out of the art community. There will always be more work to do and I am committed to dismantling white supremacy, alone and in this space. I am always listening + learning and will be open to ways to better this platform. 

The Photographer’s Green Book (@PhotoGreenBook) is a great resource for me and other platforms /
institutions to look inward at our own bias, curatorial decisions and practices. I am invested in this resource and if you have anything to add to it please reach out to them. 

On looking inward: there will no longer be submission fees and we will be seeking more diverse artists for our features
since there is only the white gaze present at this time. I encourage BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ to submit to re-direct’s on-going exhibition HANDS and all future opportunities. 

Lets keep in touch,
