## Caption

🖼 Check out this artwork by #CreateSpaceResidency artist A.Y. Johnson (ay.johnson_arts).

Johnson is a Nigerian artist based in Brampton, Ontario. Her art engages with themes of afro-centric social issues, black feminist dialogue, and exploration of her Yoruba heritage. 

⭐ Through barrier-free visualization, Johnson invites discussions on beauty, strength, and the contradictions of female and cultural identity to create conversations about race, spirituality, and tradition. 

Keep an eye out to see what A.Y creates in partnership with the City of Brampton 💗
