Description
"My art is a form of social commentary" – Kazvare Made It
In this episode, Angela Lyons interviews illustrator and writer Kazare about her creative journey and social commentary through art. They discuss the importance of black representation in art, navigating social media and future projects.
Kazvare is a writer, illustrator and graphic designer who is forging a name for herself with her often ‘sassy sketches and searing satire’ (GRAZIA). She has also been listed as an ‘inspirational woman’ by Forbes.
Her work has been featured in VOGUE (UK and Japan) and she has also collaborated with major brands such as Adidas and Facebook and held a pop-up exhibition at the Tate Modern.
Her brand, Kazvare Made It, is home to striking stationery, homeware and accessories. Kazvare Made It combines cultural references and influences in a way that is bold, colourful and with a huge dash of playfulness. Kazvare Made It’s stockists include Selfridges, Oliver Bonas and Scribbler.
Kazvare released Stay Woke, Kids! with Canongate in 2021. Stay Woke, Kids! is an illustrated children’s book for adults, covering topics such as white privilege, toxic masculinity and racism. It employs humour, rhymes and illustrations to convey big ideas in a digestible way.
