“In my own experience, I've been told I can't do something because it's too loud, it's too bright, it's too bold," she said."And that’s how this idea was born."A photograph titled “Black Girls Are Dimensionless" on display at the library Harrison said she was inspired by Texas musician Kam Franklin, whom she saw give a talk at the Carver Museum.
“Seeing this in this space continues with the work we're doing with OF COLOR — amplifying voices ... specifically BIPOC artists in the Austin community,” Hamilton said. “In the Austin Public Library, you have all walks of life coming in; they get a chance to witnesses it."
