Blackbird Revolt

Blackbird Revolt is an abolitionist design studio that centers its work around social change and community empowerment. Founded in 2016, the studio emerged from a desire to address the lack of representation and exclusion of diverse voices in mainstream narratives. By acting as a platform for conscious creatives, Blackbird Revolt aims to inspire activism and movement work through art and design.

The studio offers services in graphic design and video production, working intentionally with partners who value community, representation, and collective liberation. Their projects are not only creative endeavors but also fund community work that aligns with their values of abolition, liberation, and justice. Blackbird Revolt's internal practices reflect their commitment to these values, with equitable pay, comprehensive healthcare, and a supportive work environment.

Blackbird Revolt collaborates with a range of clients, including government agencies and community organizations, to co-create solutions that break social and political barriers. Their portfolio includes projects like the Minnesota Department of Health Vaccine Campaign and the Hennepin County Opioid Crisis Campaign, showcasing their ability to engage with critical social issues through design.
