Studies N Black is a series presented by Links Hall. Insight Arts will be hosting a series of discussions on the idea of "blackness" in conjunction with Studies N Black.
"This series is a study of how people perceive "blackness" when represented in real and performative settings, investigating art as it interacts with everyday moments and cultural pluralisms. The title references "blackness" as a notion that all people, regardless of their race, have become intrigued by or developed a deep connection to. What constitutes being black? Can it still be defined as a cultural legacy historically and ancestrally linked to one
group of people? It seems that, in pop culture, blackness moves beyond skin color and into a way of being; that you don't necessarily have to be black to speak, act, dance, sing black. How then, do black artists redefine, refute, or embrace this notion?" -- Baraka de Soleil, Curator and Links Hall Artistic Associate
