drawing while black hashtag

Twitter’s hashtag is a decade old and it has been one of the most impactful features the company has put out in a while. The functionality has been replicated in other social networks since it allows for grouping of related posts which can be easily searched.

On Twitter, hashtag is used for different purposes: Trending a fun topic, talking about serious issues or even for marketing purposes. This time round, this hashtag was used as a fun way to promote talent, specifically in the arts.

The hashtag #drawingwhileblack became a collection of art pieces (drawings especially) from black artists from around the word. Since Twitter allows you to upload upto 4 pieces, these artists were able to share photos of their art to the rest of the world on Twitter.
