The main goals of We Black Folk are to build a Boston-based movement for Black folk arts and to present a large-scale interactive festival which will inform, highlight and expand the re-establishment of the Black folk genre. We are responding to community desires to offer more of this genre and to provide a platform for the historically marginalized stories and music of Black American culture to be heard and seen.We Black Folk serves multiple audiences, including (but not limited to) the general public, performing/visual artists, production professionals (e.g., audio engineers/videographers),and small-businesses.
We Black Folk is A Boston-based movement encompassing interactive performances and conversations, providing platforms for marginalized stories and music of traditional Black Folk arts. With the use of media archival we will tell, showcase and archive the stories of Boston Black folk culture in efforts to preserve and unearth the often marginalized stories of this community.
