Instagram is no longer a platform exclusively for selfies and brunch pictures; nowadays, people use Instagram to showcase their creative talent, making it the best place to find up-and-coming artists. Finding the right people to follow can be overwhelming, which is why I spent the last few weeks discovering some of the hottest graphic designers. This month at Shifter, we’re showcasing art by Black women.
