Thesis Tape Vol 3 - Post-Black History Month
Your boy JBarber is deep in the thick of creating his thesis work! There's a lot of writing and making art going on in the basement. He put down his paints and picked up the mic to share some of his thoughts about his art journey. On March 1st, he's talking about creating a Post-Black History Month Mindstate. Inspired by the HBO documentary Black Art: In the Absence of Light, JB wanted to say something about the way Black History Month gets used against Black artists. Instead of being a true celebration of culture and history, museums use it to cover up the institutional biases operating below the surface. He talks about some of the experiences and what it inspires him to do to change the system.
