Artist: Essence Enwere, 20

"True Americana was a personal project about taking classic design and adding political and black spin on it. These pieces speak on the fact there are very few black designers and there has historically always been a lack of a black voice in the design world. This lack of voice is not only seen in graphic design history but American history, my goal with this series was to have my blackness for all to listen and read. To shake the hums of complacency for anyone who participates in my art and find a true reality and understand that blackness is true americana. "
