Arts
We are concentrating on the nexus of art and activism in pursuit of Black liberation and the preservation and protection of Black creativity.
Pierre Bennu, our inaugural artist in residence, directed a video series highlighting the divine power of creativity. Taken as a whole, this collection of works celebrates hidden beauty, deeply-rooted joy, and our collective power to imagine a world beyond our reality. His residency series is a meditative collection of multi-media short films exploring themes of resilience, self-love, well-being, legacy, healing, and liberation. Videos from the series were screened at live, community-based concerts in Inglewood that month and later in the year at BLMGNF’s participation in One Music Fest.
