How Parallel Press is cataloguing Black history through indie books, graphic design and space travel

Akoua Smith and Renald Louissaint’s Parallel Press profoundly demonstrates how independent publishing and graphic design can reclaim and preserve vital history. Their latest publication, *Astro Black*, brilliantly chronicles Black astronauts, reminding us that art is a powerful tool for cultural protection and amplifying underrepresented narratives. For emerging women artists, this initiative is a crucial inspiration: your creative vision has the power to forge new archives and safeguard stories that might otherwise be lost. Embrace your unique perspective to document, uplift, and ensure the histories that matter are not only told but endure through your art. — Source: It's Nice That
