For artist Jon Moody, the event gave him a chance to showcase Free, a piece that graced the cover of EBONY, “symbolizing liberation and rebirth, which encapsulates transformation and provokes reflection.”
He also featured No Ordinary Love and Broken the latter of which is described as a personal favorite of the artist, which “delves into the theme of overexertion and its impacts.”
“My art is a conduit for challenging the pressing issues of our era,” Moody told EBONY about his artwork. “It goes beyond mere aesthetics; it’s crafted to spark thought and ignite conversations about the collective challenges we face as a society.”
In addition to the artwork, EBONY FWD featured entertainment via Chance The Rapper…
