As a multidisciplinary artist, bria royal considers her paintings, comics, and animation to be the result of a radical healing process that she hopes others will benefit from seeing unfold, and an attempt to construct intersectionally black and indigenous mythologies for ourselves and our future liberated descendants. Much of her work centralizes black and brown womxnhood, femininity, and gender fluidity as identities in constant solidarity with the elements of our natural world due to parallel experiences of exploitation and resistance.
