Artistic Expressions

Black Women, Art & COVID is a digital gallery and storytelling platform that showcases the artistic expressions and personal narratives of Black girls, femmes, and women during the COVID pandemic and the anti-Black pandemics we face. We use to title “Visions Unmasked” to reflect how Black women engage in agency around self-articulation and work to create space to resist their erasure.

“In Guyana's stir, a political storm brewed,

Your Artistic Expression

Diasporic Black girls, femmes, and women used art, in its various forms, to express their fears, dreams, and desires during the height of the pandemic and even it’s “aftermath.” We have always found a way to express ourselves. And so, Black Women Talk COVID invites you to submit your artistic expressions. Submit a high-resolution image of your art, videos, poetry, etc.
