We Create Birmingham: Willie Williams of Studio 2500
"Black artists are already underrepresented, so for me to own a fine art gallery as a black male and artist, I’m trailblazing and setting a precedent for generations now and to come."
We Create Birmingham: Aaliyah Taylor and Gelenda Norman
"Whenever I feel like I need to refine myself to be like others, I have to remember that I have purpose in who I am. I am unique, and it’s important to remain true to you. And by doing that, you remind others to stay bold and authentic." Aaliyah Taylor, Exalting in Beauty
We Create Birmingham: Jordan Higgins and Jacob Patrick of Electra Film Lab
"When you’re shooting passively on the phone, you can be taking pictures, but when you have a film camera, you’re photographing actively. It’s the activity you're doing. Similar to the rise of vinyl records. I'm listening to music. That’s the activity." Jacob Patrick
We Create Birmingham: Tyler Jones
"We don’t want to add noise. We want to put something in the world that moves someone. We want to be thoughtful in our work, not just reactive."
