In 2009, US-based Guyanese writer Grace Aneiza Ali launched her Of Note Magazine, an online source celebrating Guyanese artists.
In a recent interview with Guyana Times Sunday Magazine, Ali said Guyanese need to know more about people impacting their communities through the arts. She said too that within online and print media, there is underreporting of artists whose work blend art with activism and positively impacts change in our communities, both locally and globally, and Of Note works to counter that absence.
“We’ve done a series of focused issues in the Guyana edition. Artists telling the stories of children around the world are one of them. We’ve brought incredible artists using their work for social change to communities and audiences, making their work more accessible. We are working on two upcoming issues: artists telling the stories of Ethiopia and artists using their work to advocate for girls’ education in developing countries,” Ali revealed.
Recently, Ali launched the Guyana’s issue of her online magazine, with more than 75 invited guests joining in celebrating a notable moment in her life.
