Mz. Icar

Mz. Icar, an anonymous art collective predominantly comprised of Black Women, stands at the intersection of artistic innovation and societal transformation. Our collective name, “racIzM,” spelled backward, serves as a guiding principle, symbolizing our mission to upend conventional constructs of gender and race. We recognize these identifiers as fluid concepts, deeply influenced by the nuances of time, place, and context. They are not restrictions, but rather, perspectives through which we interpret the world, explore our identities, and drive our creative journey.

Our collective is an ensemble of multi-talented artists, each specializing in distinct roles within our creative process. Among us, skilled Illustrators, Photographers, Designers, Prop Stylists, Street Artists, and Collage Artists unite with a common vision. Together, we create art that celebrates the essence of Women, the global tapestry of Blackness, and the spirit of play.

Our artistic odyssey with Mz. Icar is a kaleidoscope of projects and creations. We’ve ventured into exhibitions, murals, public installations, augmented reality-activated public art, and brand collaborations, all bearing the indelible marks of play, color, composition, and a celebration of diverse narratives. Our murals span from local treasures to international marvels, infusing vibrancy and life into public spaces. Beyond this, we’ve directed an award-winning short film, “Of Expansion,” and lent our conceptual art and art direction to Ms. Lauryn Hill’s World Tour. Collaborations with renowned brands such as Doritos, BET, and Xbox have allowed us to infuse our artistic vision into various media.
