Contemporary Black Artists on Tumblr
Have you popped into the Black artists on Tumblr tag yet? It’s an endless scroll of GIFs, photography, paintings, illustrations, and more, more, more. Here’s a small collection of Tumblrs you can follow to get you started:
The Artist Akuji (@theartistakuji)
Beautiful digital art that just feels clean, fresh, and pleasing to look at. The artist’s Jamaican-American background shines through in a lot of her work, like this West Indie piece.
Maya Ajani (@mayaajani)
Gritty, detailed, cool as hell marker art. Everything is a little bit gnarled up and raw and, just to repeat with deserved emphasis, cool as hell.
Liam Gavyn Salt (@liamgavynsalt)
Liam Salt dabbles in seemingly all things visual art: painting, digital, photography, illustration. He does it all well, but It’s his GIFed up self-portraits that we wanted to showcase. Those are some finely tuned, well-thought-out scribbles up there.
Into this stuff? Want more of it? Right over here.
Don’t miss our upcoming BHM Answer Times. Next week we’ll have:
- 2/6—The activists behind the TheBlackout movement (@theblackoutofficial) are already taking your questions. Ask them about the second anniversary of #blackout, the current goals and future of their mission, or anything else you find relevant.
- 2/7—Fashion designer Jerome Lamaar (@531jerome).
- 2/8—Emil Wilbekin (@worldofwilbekin), fashion journalist and LGBTQ rights activist.

A Jew, a Muslim, and a Lutheran walk into a New York studio to talk about their faith and their feminism… and you’re invited to listen in. How does religion fit in with today’s women’s movement? Can faith & feminism coexist?
Today we’ll be joined by Nadia Bolz-Weber, the Founding Pastor of the House for all Sinners & Saints, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of MuslimGirl.net, and Lauren Herrmann, a Rabbi at the Society for the Advancement of Judaism. Moderated by Facebook’s own Nona Jones, our panel of religious leaders will weigh in on what it means to balance faith & feminism.
Tune in at 5:30pm EST on the MAKERS Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/203893417003898
