About Black the Creator

Black (they/them) is a renaissance, drawing inspiration from artists like Josephine Baker and Ntozake Shange, who were unapologetic and unbound in their creative expression. They are a Black, genderqueer creator and community organizer currently based in the land of Bulbancha, or so-called New Orleans. Through anti/interdisciplinary creative practice, Black transcends the boundaries between art and form to create space for healing, discovery and transformation. They create within the realm of Afrofuturism and spirituality, conjuring worlds through the imagination, facilitating deep connection, and cultivating a sense of collectivity, wholeness and embodied wisdom. It is through this work that Black strives towards liberation.
