Glorifying Blackness

When I hear the words Black Artistic Healing I think of three words: These being community, solace, and celebration. I think of art in all its forms made to celebrate the diversity and richness in being Black. I think of an amalgamation of art made by Black people to portray the emotions of a community that has been silenced for centuries. When I think of Black Artistic Healing Spaces I think of places of solace and refuge that are created to soothe one’s soul after constant interactions with a society that teaches you that blackness is subpar.
