Janice Reid is an emerging artist from Toronto. The Brampton-based artist’s body of work focuses on Black identity and uses fine art, fashion photography, and social commentary to dismantle negative depictions of Blackness. In her own words, the artist’s intention for her practice is: “My early understandings of race and beauty were shaped by pop culture, especially fashion magazines. I want my work to focus on telling the stories of the identity of Blackness, so that we can start to re-imagine and re-create our own narratives collectively”.
