Azia Squire

Azia by ryan samson for website
(1) by Ryan Samson

Azia’s project is an episodic web series following a diverse group of artists living in South Philadelphia.  The series explores the lives of the group and their struggle with relationships, finances and independence while chasing their dreams. The project highlights issues of racism, homophobia and sexism in the entertainment industry and its effects on minority artists that is often overlooked.  One of the main characters is a female drummer of color vying for respect in the white male-dominated world of hard rock.  Azia seeks to present a unique perspective on the ‘starving artist’ by examining the lives of artists of color and the LGBTQI community.
