About the Piece

This quote by Amir Aziz is pulled from a discussion at The Spectrum Summit: a recorded discussion series exploring contemporary issues impacting the social, cultural and mental health of Black People, organized by The House of Malico, in solidarity with the 50th Anniversary of the Black Panther Party, and held at Eastside Arts Alliance. The poster was  designed by Lala Openi張, and was later displayed at Wine & Bowties’ Art & Music Festival Feels VI, which was featured in The Fader.

Question from the maker:

In what areas of your life can you benefit from a new frame of thinking?
