OUSA is an intersectional collective of illustrators
for marginalised and migrant perspectives.
We raise awareness of inequity and discrimination by creating new forms of collaboration and sparking creative exchange.
OUSA is welcome to everyone with a respectful,
open and creative mind.
Let’s work together!
