Tasha Dougé is a Bronx-based, conceptual, mixed media artist, teaching artist, and cultural vigilante. Her work incites conversations around women, health advocacy, sexual education, societal "norms”, identity, and Black pride. As a proud Black woman of Haitian descent, it's very important and fundamental to Dougé’s practice to depict a more holistic description of Black identity and social contribution. The artist shares, “I use my art to exercise expression, enact empowerment and to serve as a bridge to connect and highlight those that are excluded and overlooked. My voice is the first tool within my art arsenal.”
