B&W

As a black artist I don't see anything wrong with white imagery,, especially if it helps create spaces for black people, however, it also necessary to let it be known that black imagery can is just ass artistically appealing as white imagery but one, white people sometimes don't fully understand how to read black and they are the ones with £_€ which leads to a lack of representation and two, there is not enough resources to make the alternative black vision that decendes stereotypes in the mass that white media is made. So aren't I adding to the problem? No! Why isn't there a 50/50 split in my work, because eventually no matter how hard I try until I have the same resources awarded as my counterparts I will always run out of references, inspirations, and time. So that's why black spaces or spaces for black people serve such a strong purpose in what I do. That's why I don't do care content warnings only ingredients lists, with allergens not in bold either. hopefully my work stands out in a scene of white mederocracy.. and so do those who come together for mutual exchanges in the moments I create…. That's black art in the making.

We have enough time, what we don't have is the time and space to work together to create more black visuals, photography, media.

Just because you have a camera doesn't mean your a photographer but there a lot more spaces where people can say let's make a movie, let's make a show, let's make music and it happens where people of colour in general just didn't get and still haven't got the memo about the time a place these discussions take place! Sometimes people forget things like asains like rap music and Italians drink tea so if you had these two round the table surely I think they would have some useful inputs or just food for thought,,
