About Black
Black Venus is a renaissance, drawing inspiration from artists like Josephine Baker and Audre Lorde, who allowed no limits to their creative expression. As a multidisciplinary artist, Black Venus breaks through the boundaries between art and form to center their life experience as a born and raised Bostonian who is queer, black, and gender non-conforming. Their work is deeply introspective and strives to challenge normalized language and discourse. Black is also an active community organizer, collaborating with fellow artists on programming that aims to dismantle oppression and promote healing through creative practices.
