We’re excited to announce a unique opportunity!! Join Artfluential for an a special meet and greet evening as we welcome some of the authors and contributor of ‘An Anthology of Blackness: The State of Black Design’ to . Tomorrow April 11, 2024 5:30p - 7:30p

Curated and Edited by Omari Souza ( .souza ) and Teressa Moses ( ) An Anthology of Blackness examines the intersection of Black identity and practice, probing why the design field has failed to attract Black professionals, how Eurocentric hegemony impacts Black professionals, and how Black designers can create an anti-racist design industry. Contributing authors and creators demonstrate how to develop a pro-Black design practice of inclusivity, including Black representation in designed media, anti-racist pedagogy, and radical self-care. Through autoethnography, lived experience, scholarship, and applied research, these contributors share proven methods for creating an anti-racist and inclusive design practice.

The contributions in An Anthology of Blackness include essays, opinion pieces, case studies, and visual narratives. Many contributors write from an intersectional perspective on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and ability.
