Racquel Chevremont was born and raised in NYC. A powerful force in the art world, she is sought out for her expertise and experience as an art consultant, advising institutions, corporations, collectors, and artists.

Originally from New Jersey, Mickalene Thomas lives and works in Brooklyn. A multidisciplinary artist and shapeshifter, she also acts as a curator, educator, and mentor to many rising emerging artists.

With Deux Femmes Noires, Chevremont and Thomas set out to increase visibility for artists of color—and female artists of color in particular.

Their work for Vilebrequin proposes a series of collages representing the Harlem Renaissance period, subverting the representation of women and inviting a polysemic reading of the signs applied to textiles.
