#blacklivesmatter As artists, collectors and curators, we take our inspiration from many aspects of the world, and of course the pain and hurt of others affects us and our community deeply. In the past few days, we have seen Americans fighting for justice and equality after the murder of another black man at the hands of police, through protests, amplifying voices on social media and fundraising. We see the plight of our black brothers and sisters and cannot remain silent in the face of this outpouring of grief and calls for justice #justiceforgeorgefloyd
We recognize the influence and the responsibility of our platform to amplify this important work. As such we are asking that our followers and collaborators speak up and actively participate in anti-racism work however they can. Beautiful Bizarre Magazine believes in equality, love, respect, justice, opportunity, freedom and security for all people, and we stand in solidarity with our American friends.
We also recognise that Australia, where we are based, has an appalling record regarding the way that people of colour, particularly our indigenous peoples, have been treated. We also stand in love and solidarity with those in our own country who have been, and continue to be marginalised and mistreated.
We send our deepest condolences to George Floyd’s family, friends and community at this incredibly sad time.
