In the Adobe Blog “What Matters: Creativity Scholars on Race and Identity” Creativity Scholars use video, illustration and painting to spotlight race-related issues; they confront the epidemic that has spurred the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
To reflect upon the senseless loss of those victimised by police brutality, Bedelyn Dabel's series of portraits, entitled 'Black Lives Matter', memorialise the lives that were inexplicably cut short.
“I started a series to honour the victims of police brutality so that they would not be forgotten and would not become old news.”
Recently, Bedelyn painted Enough is Enough to commemorate the death of Alton Sterling. This piece channels the profound grief experienced by Alton’s wife and son.
“There have been many cases of police brutality, but you never see the sons and daughters of the victims feeling the weight of such a crippling loss.”
