Capturing the Culture

Rob Ferrell is a Baltimore-based artist, organizer, archivist, and designer. His lens-based artwork bears witness to the magic, joy, and transformation of Black organizing. His most recent body of work, the Amandla series, is an exploration of the generative nature of Black Power through portraiture of Black freedom fighters and organizers inside maroon spaces—physical and spiritual spaces liberated from an oppressive society. Rob is dedicated to visually archiving the Movement for Black Lives during his lifetime. You can follow along the journey on instagram @bmore_radical.

Rob is a senior organizer and founding member of Organizing Black: a grassroots member-led organization in Baltimore City that focuses on transformational direct action, political education, and participatory governance. He is also a national member of BYP100 and an alumni of BOLD (Black Organizing for Leadership and Dignity).

Rob Ferrell is grounded in the Black Radical Tradition and fighting for the liberation of ALL Black people, by any means necessary.
