Скачать или смотреть WHAT IS BLACK JOY? - A COMISSION CELEBRATING JOY, AUTHENTICTY, FREEDOM & PRESENCE - PART 2

A commission inspired by the question: What is Black Joy? A collaboration with the Ubele Initiative (https://www.ubele.org/)

Black Joy is a powerful act of celebration, resilience, and self-expression. It’s the ability to find light and laughter in the midst of struggle, to honour culture, heritage, and identity with pride. Black Joy shows up in music, art, movement, community, and everyday moments of connection and creativity. It’s resistance and restoration an unapologetic declaration that Black lives are not only worthy of justice but also of joy, love, and limitless possibility.
