Contemporary Black Canvas

As a home for Black expression and Black thought, our mission is to celebrate the depth and breadth of the Black artistic and intellectual traditions from the African Diaspora and Africa. The Contemporary Black Canvas podcast main series highlights the most engaging and dynamic Black artists from across the globe through in-depth interviews. The Black Arts Movement Audio Archive preserves the stories of artists significant to the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Our Power to the People podcast training intensives teach Black artists and activists how to podcast. We also host artists’ roundtables, readings, and other events. Our book, Power to the People: The Black Artists’ and Activist’s Guide to Podcasting, is forthcoming in 2018.
