The book includes 20 interviews with some of the most pioneering Black cultural leaders from a wide range of senior executive positions in the arts within the UK, US and Africa, exploring the change happening in decolonizing arts spaces now and the change that still needs to happen.
2020 was a year in which global politics radically shifted, catalyzed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
This book is a response to that year, asking: was it a moment or is it a movement, and what fundamental changes within the arts industry need to come out of this time?
The book includes over 20 interviews with some of the most pioneering Black cultural leaders from a wide range of senior executive positions in the arts within the UK, Europe, US and Africa.
It documents the sea of change in arts leadership at the height of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, the pressure on organizations to confront and change their racial and ethnic make-up, and shines a light on the guiding ambitions, strategic plans and visions for the future to support the ongoing decolonization of arts organizations across the world.
Learn from those who have walked the walk to support your vision for the future.
A resounding testimony of best practices for staying grounded in spaces that cross the color line. * Kamilah Forbes, Director and Executive Producer, Apollo Theater, USA *
