#BlackCultureMatters
In 2020, the Kennedy Center launches #BlackCultureMatters to name our understanding that the richness of Black Culture is inextricably bound and woven into the tapestry of American culture. And that it also plays a vital role within an ongoing need to sustain the Black community at large. We more intentionally connect Black performances on our digital and proscenium stages to partnerships with community sustaining visionaries and unsung heroes in the Black community.
Through #BlackCultureMatters, we co-design programs and provide workshop space at the REACH for organizations and creatives that address the following four areas as a central component of their anti-racist work:
Wealth
Beauty (including culture, health, humanity, joy, and self-concept)
Law
Housing
#BlackCultureMatters signals the Kennedy Center’s movement from robust, but disparate programming that centers Black artists, to more cohesive strategies that use art as a starting place to generate attention and resources for Black audiences and communities nationwide.
