This must be the place.

This is a no judgement zone. Period.
We’re on a mission to highlight and empower the work of creatives across overlooked continents such as Africa, Asia, The Caribbean and Latin America (and their diasporas).
A recent study showed that over 80% of American artists represented by top New York galleries are white and 70% male. Which means that Asian (8.1%), African (8.8%), Latino (2.1%), Middle Eastern (1%), Pacific Islanders (0.2%) and Native American artists (0.1%) are struggling to reach a 20% mark, even though combined they comprise the majority of New York residents.
According to Artnet, works by African American artists account for a mere 1.2% of the global auction market, while works by women amount to just 2% of auction sales.
To summarise, this ain’t it.
How do we fix this?
Through research, conversation, inclusion, and acute curation.
