Behind the Billboard with joshuaobawole⁠ 📖⁠ ⁠ “It’s not that often people from Black and Brown, poor, working class communities in New York City see themselves featured in a glorious, iconic, empowered, dignified way. And so I’m really proud to be that representation, made manifest.”⁠ ⁠ Joshua Allen (joshuaobawole) is the artist and activist behind the 2020 For Freedoms Billboard, SACRIFICE. Inspired by the sacrifice and resistance that comes along with the everyday existence of the Black trans and queer community, the billboard asks “What will you sacrifice to change the world?”⁠ ⁠ 📖⁠ Behind the Billboard is a series that spotlights billboard artists featured in our newly released book Where Do We Go From Here? Link in bio to order the book featuring For Freedoms billboards by 550+ artists. ⁠ ⁠ #WhereDoWeGoFromHere⁠ Animation by julietmonireh⁠
