A bit about me…

Greetings! I’m Meredith Hutchison, the creator of The Linocut. I’m an Armenian American based in NYC, fierce feminist activist, racial justice ally, storyteller, time traveler and artist. I have over 15 years of experience working in 15+ countries collaborating with communities, nonprofits, and grassroots movements to co-create beautiful, radical, powerful art that shows expansive possibilities and mobilizes people into action for justice.

I am a Co-Founder of Resistance Communications (check us out!) a collective of creatives working to support resistors of injustice to ignite imagination, move people to action, and forge equitable, just futures through art and strategy. And I’m the Co-Founder of Vision Not Victim (also check us out!) a global girl-driven program that unleashes the power of girls, address the violence they face and work towards gender equity.

My work has been featured in a range of media outlets including: BBC, CNN, ABC, Newsweek, France24, Le Monde, Vanity Fair, Ms. Magazine, The Washington Post, Buzzfeed, Refinery29, International Business Times, and the Daily Mail among other media outlets.
