Gabrielle Mitchell-Bonds
Gabrielle (she/they) is a Black queer feminist and artist at Harvard University studying History & Literature and Art History. Her multidisciplinary studies center Black/queer/women lineages in visual and literary archives, interrogating sites of culture and memory, and her passion for using the power of the visual to transform narratives manifests in a pursuit to remember and reclaim modes of ancestral storytelling.
During her time, Gabrielle transformed eleven full-life reproductive justice oral histories into zines, creating a visual medium sharing and preserving the stories of activists, abortion providers, birth workers, doulas, and reproductive justice practitioners about their upbringing, political consciousness, community building, and organizing/cultural work.
