If you could represent your personal history and your culture in colors, which ones would you choose? Artist Amanda Williams (@awstudioart) decided to redefine color from her own Black perspective, so she created a new palette — complete with new names — inspired by her upbringing and her community in the South Side of Chicago. Turquoise and pink became, respectively, "Ultra Sheen" and "Pink Oil Moisturizer" (after the hair products); bright red became "Harold's Chicken Shack." Then she stumbled upon the biggest canvas imaginable: houses that were slated for demolition in the area of Englewood. She doused them in her new shades in a project called "Color(ed) Theory," which shifted perspectives — for her and for the community as a whole. "Color gave me freedom in a way that didn't wait for permission or affirmation or inclusion. Color was something that I could rule now," Williams says. "One of the neighborhood members and paint crew members said it best when he said, 'This didn't change the neighborhood, it changed people's perceptions about what's possible for their neighborhood.'"⁠
