I dedicate this mural to women who have inspired me and influenced the world around me. May this piece not only serve as a reminder of how influential black women are but also as a reflection on their excellence. Black women influence culture undeniably and contribute to and cultivate community. In this piece, I am highlighting cultural icons as well as the women here in our community. A reminder that your voice, presence, and experiences don’t go unnoticed regardless of socio-economic status.
Nazeer Sabree (he/him), Born on March 9th, 1998, is a contemporary visual artist from West Philadelphia. Nazeer's work is generally and most notably focused on depicting the dichotomy of everyday life in black culture. The themes explored in his works are individual and shared cultural experiences, identity, personal narratives, literature, philosophy, social constructs, mental health, belonging, and African American history.
“I create works undividedly focusing on the black body and unraveling what history notoriously misinterpreted about who we are. My work is a response to trauma and mental health that is ingrained and seemingly ubiquitous in the black community.”
