Nowadays, artists and leaders everywhere are doing all they can to represent and bring their community together. Using art forms, artists have been able to fester more understanding and compassion within society.

Sonya Clark is an advocate of unity, and she has dedicated her art to representing her community. Her latest exhibit, We Are Each Other, combines her community-centric and participatory projects in a mid-career survey to showcase her dedication to this cause.

One Shanghai based artist gained worldwide recognition for her subversive and insightful art ideology, emerging contemporary artist, Lu Yang’s (陆扬) work focused on exploring the limitations of the human body and consciousness, attempting to transcend the rigid limitations of  physical work via digital media, performances, and installations. 

Whether you know her as Jeff Bezos’s ex-wife or as a novelist, everyone can agree that Mackenzie Scott is a philanthropist. With a net worth of $34.4 billion, Scott is constantly making donations to non-profit organizations and charities.

As a female  artist, Tania Marmolejo was constantly  told “maybe you need to change.” Yet, the best thing that she ever did for her career was ignore that advice.

Dominican born, Tania Marmolejo knew that she wanted to pursue a career in art since she was a little girl. She studied Graphic Design and Illustration in Norway, then attended the Altos de Chavón School of Design to study Fine Arts. Soon after, she attended Parsons The New School for Design, New York on scholarship and received a degree in Fine Arts and Illustration. 

Art critic Hilton Hamer once commented on Photographer Evelyn Hofer referring to her as “the most famous unknown photographer in America,” a title that seems to capture her whole artistic career. 

She is like a lonely explorer, catching unique pieces of memories belonging to cities in her photographs. Today, 14 years after her death, we can still feel a sense of transcendence and timelessness while viewing her work.
