Activism and Art

Welcome back!

Hi everyone! My name is Danielle and I am a Co-Founder and the Chief Financial Officer here at Relief Retailers. I am so happy to work alongside such wonderful and inspiring creators.

Black Lives Matter. Relief Retailers stands with the Black community. We are angered by the losses of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and COUNTLESS Black men, women, and non-binary people murdered by the police (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/). American institutions are corrupt and the time has come for change. 

Art and Activism. Throughout history, art has always been at the forefront of political change. It’s an effective tool that communicates messages, instills values, and manifests experiences. Art can transcend location, language, and culture. It allows the viewer to have a window into the experiences of others. Through shared artistic experiences we can learn together and create tangible change. 

Our mission at Relief Retailers is to represent artists from around the globe to give them another platform to express themselves and support people they know are in need. Globally, our Black communities are in need and we are standing up behind you, allowing your voices to be heard. You are not alone. 

We are listening, we are learning, and we stand in solidarity with you.
