Tania Ralli, Assistant Managing Editor for Arts & Culture The ARTery's weekly newsletter is your essential connection to Boston's arts and culture scene. Each one inhabits a distinct moment in their career, ascending in their art with the promise of more great work to come. This is a group worthy of our attention, weaving their drive with their vulnerability to show us who they are. And they come from different corners of the cultural landscape, some working independently and others as part of well-established organizations, like the Boston Ballet, MIT and the Museum of Fine Arts.Īrtists of color, more often than not, are underappreciated.
They bring a particular urgency to their chosen mediums, wrestling with issues of identity, race, equity and environment. We ultimately chose these creatives for their body of work, but particularly for the work they are pursuing at this moment in time. We deliberated for months over whom to include, and convened an advisory panel of Catherine Morris, Layla Bermeo and Rob Gibbs to weigh in. They uplift those in their orbit, and deliver an incisive perspective on the world around them. Each one brings tenacity and rigor to their art, whether it’s on the stage, on a canvas, or served up on a plate.
This story is part of The ARTery 25, a series highlighting artists of color making an impact.įor the second time since 2019, we are thrilled to present The ARTery 25, Greater Boston artists of color who stand out for the work they are making. And in a time where the pandemic has seemingly made life flatter, these artists bring a punch of fresh energy to the world around us. Art lets us see the world through someone else’s eyes.
