BBZ BLK BK is showcasing a group show of recently graduated artists who identify as queer womxn, trans & non-binary people of Black Ancestry. Chosen by a panel of established artists, curators & cultural workers. Successful applicants receive an artist fee as well as install costs covered for the production of their work in the show.
BBZ in collaboration with sorryyoufeeluncomfortable believes that the commitment and passion of artists who are black and queer deserves to be celebrated. Their intention is to provide a space for artists to be their fullest selves in the presentation of their work, and for audiences to view their work in a space that does not pathologize or ‘Other’ their identities.
BBZ BLK BK: Alternative Graduate Show asks both what it means for the artists to identify as they do and also what the qualities of the work are beyond its Blackness and its Queerness.
“BBZ BLACK BOOK”, is a new online directory of Queer Womxn, Trans Folk And Non-Binary artists of Black Ancestry. BBZ BLK BK highlights the importance of the digital space and how it has influenced this community around the world, off and online.
