For Richmond-based artist Austin “Auz” Miles, the impact of her work is right there in the communities where she paints,” reports Nia Norris in NextCity. Elaborating, “Miles is part of a collective called All City Art Club whose mission is to bring murals to the Southside.”
Duron Chavis, a Richmond food activist, said, “It’s super important to highlight the contributions of Black women who do human rights work. I would just say being able to see personas that reflect their cultural reality helps with a deeper analysis around the issues communities face and hopefully provides the inspiration for more people to get involved in this type of work.”
