SDB Artist Spotlight
Speaking Down Barriers has a deep connection within the artist community. We were originally founded as Poetry & Conversation where we used the art of Spoken Word to push dialogue forward. So it is only natural that we highlight artists from within our community. To see our roster of previous Artist Spotlight features, click here.
Our current Artist Spotlight resident is visual artist and poet Logan Foster aka Divinity!
Divinity is a self taught artist based in Spartanburg, SC. She combines poetry and art together to guide the viewer through an experience of black culture. As an artist she works to improve the representation of black/ indigenous folxs in American art. She believes that art can shift the conscious collective in a positive direction. Divinity is a former Writers Well (now Creators Well) fellow and used that experience to hone her craft as a poet and one of her main goals is for her art to be shared on an international level. She feels that if she can connect with as many people as possible through her art and poetry she'll be able to fulfill her purpose of sharing love and light. You can learn more about Divinity and her work by listening to our latest episode Artist Spotlight Podcast here.
As part of her residency, Divinity also created a wonderful design to express visually what Speaking Down Barriers vision of Equity for All looks like to her. You can view and purchase t-shirts, hoodies and other items with that design here.
You can follow Divinity on Facebook (Logan Foster) and on Instagram (@pisces.iii).
