Art As Activism
Sculptures and hand made inspirational pieces created by social art activist Linda Mickens
Born in Newark, NJ, in 1954, my focus is on the African American experiences in this country.
Deeply inspired by the sounds of black folk and my southern roots. The blues, jazz, gospel–the familiar sound of cloth scraping across a washing board, and Grandma’s laughter.
I use sculpture as a tool to put in form my idea of our experiences, and my work continues to evolve, as I continue to love, learn, live and embrace all of life.
