đź“•: THE CONCEPT OF IDENTITY.
INTELLIGENCE. ETHNICITY. INNOVATION.
The importance of LIAM IAN™ is and has been to signify change and transition. Growth and development adhering to a sophisticated pride and drive for being Black—African American and a Man of Color, Ethnicity and Culture. As 2024 was dedicated to “The Dichotomy of…” telling and revealing those dual aspects of who I am, have been and strive to become. 2025 must move beyond just my concepts and ideas to include those of others. The opportunity we see in 2025 is a return to the idea that Art is and must be related to Social Justice and Reform. The attempt to redevelop and evolve the ideas and concepts of Black and Brown People beyond what they are and have become today.
We believe in the potential and capacity of Black and Brown People to lead communities, societies and the world beyond what has been defined for us today. Products of economic, societal and commercial conditions, we find ourselves standing at a place where not only Social Justice must be addressed but Self Identity must as well.
As we work to get more and more into our local communities, we’re reviewing plans to [1] help sponsor and curate exhibits for unconventional and innovative Artworks, [2] launch (or relaunch) a Design consultancy that focuses on high-end progressive Afro and Afro-American ideologies and standards, and [3] develop a Photography service platform that adds to a portfolio for capturing subjects and individuals that should hold significant progressive value to redefining and affecting the culture itself. With Ai and Videography as platforms being worked out, these platforms are slated to compliment and assist all others.
As the goal is still in developing content, media and other IP assets to further encourage and empower People and Communities of Color, Ethnicity and Culture, 2025 must see a broadening and widening of our ability and scope to produce. While we’re in business we recognize that we can’t be in it for the revenues but to create. To create in catering to our communities. To create in order to innovate and change the narrative of what is, what was and what can be. We’re in it to create and to then bring to market then those creations with honesty and integrity to who and what we are…after we’ve the done the work to become a recognizable part of local communities.
ART & SOCIAL JUSTICE
In planning new projects for 2025, we’re anticipating the many opportunities that will exists. We want to showcase the complexity of issues that continue to plague the Black and Brown communities as a way to further highlight the strengths and pros. Within Art, in general we want to develop and feature works and individuals that truly push the envelope to redefining People of Color in profound and positive ways. As we eventually get into Design, we want to do the same with a focus on how cultural identity plays a part in things from commercial communication to environmental aesthetic language. Using Photography and Videography to capture these moments, we’ll also be using those forms to help reinforce the journey.
