Black Women Artists for Black Lives Matter formed in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and believes that a unified and polyvocal front is a powerful agent of change in the fight against racialized violence. In coming together, we are committed to producing work that addresses Black care and self-determination through public programming, exhibitions, and digital projects.
