Converse’s Post

Creativity is the fuel of Converse — a reality our new series “Converse Creators” puts a fine point on by spotlighting our teammates’ extracurricular endeavors and expressions, starting with Austin Bryant. A member of the Converse Global Brand Marketing team, Austin is also an interdisciplinary creator whose fine-art photography and multimedia works reveal an ongoing dedication to meaningful storytelling. “I'm passionate about storytelling of all kinds,” Austin confirms. “I really enjoy focusing on telling stories of the marginalized or the underrepresented.” This commitment notably roots the work Austin completed while pursuing his MFA in Photography. His graduation project, titled “Where They Still Remain,” reflects stories of the Black and Indigenous communities on Martha's Vineyard through a combination of Austin’s own photography, archival images of those communities on the island, and historical texts he redacted. In addition to sharing the project in a solo exhibition this spring, Austin continues to create daily, both at work and afterhours. “Being a creator is not a choice I made,” he confirms. “It’s just who I am. I can always integrate some element of creativity into what I do every day.” “Where They Still Remain” is on view from March 1 to June 8, 2025, at the Martha’s Vineyard Museum.
