The study aims to show Lauren Brown's (2021) contribution to activism and criticism through the arts,
considering that the artist attributes visibility to black women in her fantasy digital illustrations. The analysis aims
to discuss the works entitled Octopus Mermaid, Sporecrown Queen, We are not prey and Tiefling. To this end,
prominent authors in the field of feminist studies such as bell hooks (2019) and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2009)
base the theoretical discussions. Among the main contributions, the study emphasizes the creative ideas in favor
of diversity, against stereotypes that occur through systematic exclusion and violate the right to existence in any
spaces, whether real or fictional.
