ATA RODO

Meet ATA RODO, a female-led collective for and by women of colour. Whether it is organising events or showcasing the creative talent of women of colour, this inclusive platform is a space that provides creative people with a space to express themselves through art. Born out of a shared experience of othering and ostracization faced in many creative spaces, ATA RODO strives to challenge the statistic that: Across the world, female artists only make up approximately 30% of all art in commercial galleries. The number is even lower for female artists of colour. They “aim to directly address the inequality and misrepresentation of women of colour in the creative industry - ATA RODO gives women of colour a platform to share their work, empowering them to break through barriers into the creative industry.”

RIOT SOUP

RIOT SOUP is a multidisciplinary London based collective for Black & Brown women. Since launching in 2019 the creative sisterhood has curated exhibitions, hosted socials, sat on panels and led workshops at leading spaces such as the Tate. RIOT SOUP collective is composed of talented and exciting illustrators, painters, collage artists and photographers with unique practices.

“We all knew that we wanted to create art but we wanted to create it with people who look like us and that might have the same thoughts and feelings and emotions about art in some sort of way. It’s a way for us to vibe with other illustrators, photographers, artists, actors, to come together, create stuff and have someone to fall back on.”

ATA RODO

Meet ATA RODO, a female-led collective for and by women of colour. Whether it is organising events or showcasing the creative talent of women of colour, this inclusive platform is a space that provides creative people with a space to express themselves through art. Born out of a shared experience of othering and ostracization faced in many creative spaces, ATA RODO strives to challenge the statistic that: Across the world, female artists only make up approximately 30% of all art in commercial galleries. The number is even lower for female artists of colour. They “aim to directly address the inequality and misrepresentation of women of colour in the creative industry - ATA RODO gives women of colour a platform to share their work, empowering them to break through barriers into the creative industry.”

RIOT SOUP

RIOT SOUP is a multidisciplinary London based collective for Black & Brown women. Since launching in 2019 the creative sisterhood has curated exhibitions, hosted socials, sat on panels and led workshops at leading spaces such as the Tate. RIOT SOUP collective is composed of talented and exciting illustrators, painters, collage artists and photographers with unique practices.

“We all knew that we wanted to create art but we wanted to create it with people who look like us and that might have the same thoughts and feelings and emotions about art in some sort of way. It’s a way for us to vibe with other illustrators, photographers, artists, actors, to come together, create stuff and have someone to fall back on.”
