Narrative Change Collaborative Illustrations

  • Nzilani Simu

The NCC is a change-making program organised by Initiatives of Changes USA that connects three mentors - a.k.a. architects - with three mentees - a.k.a. weavers -for a 2019 year-long program looking to disrupt negative racial narratives in the city of Richmond, Virginia. I collaborated with their amazing communications director Sionne Neely on the ideation for the artworks and we came up with some really cool interesting ideas. Merging traditional African symbolism and themes with elements of the Richmond narrative.
