Alexandra Bell is a multidisciplinary artist.
Her “Counternarratives” series shines a light on the ways in which news media report on, and shape our perception of events.
Black communities, gay communities, immigrant communities feel a lot of media representation to be inadequate, biased. There’s a lot of reporting around police violence and black men, and I realized a lot of the arguments we were having were about depictions…
I am really trying to see if I can disrupt subliminal messaging about who should be valued.
Alexandra Bell (quoted in the New Yorker in May 2018)
Her work is inspirational, powerful, eye-opening, and necessary… I’m in awe.
