Illustration I made last month for an art exhibition, based on Paul Colin’s original poster of Josephine Baker. This has been paired with some amber jewels made by my parents and is part of a bigger project regarding Josephine Baker, who has entered the Panthéon in Paris on the 30th November 2021, the first black woman to receive one of the highest honors in France. Lately I had the occasion to discover the life of this stunning woman and I invite you all to read and find out about all the amazing things she’s done throughout her whole life, not just in dance and art but also her important role and bravery during WW2, then for her civil rights activism, and so much more. She was an absolute hurricane. I have done another drawing of her but it’s a private commission and I’ll have to ask the owner about it ^^
