UN!TED
Britta Alford (they/them)—also known as UNiTED–is a nonbinary, multidisciplinary artist, sociopolitical and animal rights activist, writer, and poet based in New York City. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, their main goal in their artistic endeavors is liberation of the marginalized, the othered, and the strange. We must all do our part to fight for climate justice, and listen to the young embers inside of us, before they become snuffed out. Go vegan. Vote with compassion, and always try your hardest to do what’s best for the 99 percent.
No Signal (2017)
Sucked into the digital realm of artificial expectations, we lose connection to who we are, and who we need to be. It's too crowded in here for them to hear you calling their name. Have you said anything in the last 3 hours?

Uniformity Killed The Cat (2019)
This is their vow to never let myself be limited, or silenced. They will not let capitalism snip their blossom. Uniformity killed the cat and taught the dogs how to act. And for humans? Uniformity outlawed graffiti and criminalized the artist.

SweetTooth II (2018)
We are all hypocritical to our first words... And maybe even our last. They've begged for the warmth of your touch, but it never could melt them.
