FM People's Pride Art Collective
Find their work here https://fmpeoplespride.gumroad.com/
FM People's Pride Art Collective was born from a group of artists and community organizers. Our praxis is abolitionist, decolonial, & anti-capitalist in nature. We are comprised of individuals who practice multidisciplinary arts including paint, collage, ceramics, fiber arts, beading, and print. Together we collaborate with the community to create art and gatherings that express the grief and joy felt by those made most vulnerable by the U.S. empire.
