This post includes a bit of media to capture the feeling we are trying to create.
The focus is to create an art piece that is
1) Welcoming to Black people
2) A celebratory space for Black people
3) A place for Black Joy to run freely
We strive to celebrate Black culture in a safe and inclusive manner with a particular focus on the historic role of Juke Joints in bringing people together to share music, food and community.
The art of The Juke Joint is an attempt at >>ART<< creating a more welcoming environment. The people who interact with the art can work to make the Burning Man event more welcoming to Black people with the art as a supportive element.
But art can only do so much. It will always come down to the people and how the people walk through the world.
