Item description from seller

Single sheet of this card stock paper folded into a 5 by 7 inch note card. The front bears a pen and ink illustration (reproduction) in brown ink that depicts the front and back of a woman. The motif of a full moon is present. Interior is blank. Reverse has copyright information. Based on style and motif, we presume this to be the work of artist AfraShe Asungi. Asungi's work explores Black, queer and goddess themes, much of it recalling mythical themes from Africa. She founded MAMAROOTS: AJAMA-JEBITM, an "AfraGoddess sistahoood dedicated to Afracentric spirituality and cultural awareness" (quoting Asungi as quoted in Sacred Women of Africa and the African Diaspora: A Womanist Vision, an essay by Arisika Razak). As Razak further notes, Asungi's work idealizes the form of dark-skinned woman, removes it from a male gaze, and counters "negative racially charged stereotypes of Black women." VERY GOOD+ condition. Light edgewear and a hint of curling at the bottom left corner.
