Daniel Brathwaite-Shirley is a radical artist making work that is the first of its kind in terms of aesthetic, sound and concept. Working predominantly in animation and sound, they combine the two in a wholly original way to communicate their thoughts and experiences around Black, Trans identity. Speaking to It’s Nice That, Daniel says, “there are hardly any visible Black and Trans artists. We exist but people would rather have us remain quiet. I am tired of being silent. I am tired of the active silence that occurs when I experience trauma. So between being too anxious to leave my room and braving the outside, I make work as a way of dealing with, and recording ongoing events in my life. I would call them all self-help pieces. It’s been the best way of dealing with the pain and love that Black and Trans people exist in”, they explain.
