Unveiling "Be Fearless Be Bold": A Unique Artistic Journey

In November 2023, I embarked on a creative journey that resulted in the creation of a truly unique piece of functional art—the "Be Fearless Be Bold" chair. This project was more than just a design challenge; it was a heartfelt contribution to a cause I deeply care about.

The chair was crafted using a combination of printed paper and Black and White African fabrics, bringing together a fusion of cultural richness and contemporary design. It was originally created for a fundraiser organized by the Black Artists' Development Collective (BADC), aptly named "No Time To Sit." The event aimed to raise funds for various causes, including contributing to the defense of Reginald Grey, a cause close to many hearts.

Though none of the artist's chairs were sold during the fundraiser, the experience inspired a new direction for the piece. I decided to enhance the "Be Fearless Be Bold" chair by adding a reversible cushion, providing both comfort and versatility. This cushion not only complements the chair's aesthetic but also adds a layer of functionality, making it a perfect addition to any living space.

The chair is now available for $300, plus shipping, and stands as a testament to resilience and creativity. It symbolizes the strength and boldness inherent in embracing one's culture and using art as a medium for change and expression.

I invite you to explore this unique piece and consider adding a touch of boldness to your home. By doing so, you not only acquire a piece of art but also support the ongoing journey of creativity and advocacy.
