The New York– and Los Angeles–based curator and art advisor Mashonda Tifrere has long been dedicated to amplifying the voices of artists of the African diaspora. In 2016, she founded ArtLeadHER, a nonprofit that seeks to support the work of female-identifying creators; and more recently, she created Art Genesis, a platform dedicated to supporting emerging artists. “It’s important to center Black femmes simply because they have been denied access,” Tifrere said in a recent interview. “Giving artists an equal opportunity to thrive and create art, also to build sustainable careers, is central to the work that I do with ArtLeadHER and Art Genesis.”
