iamthenublack partner with AACDD

We are thrilled that thenublack has become a partner of our initiaitve

In October of 2008, Graphic designer Gabrielle Smith set herself a challenge to blog about contemporary culture of the African Diaspora as a new approach to celebrating Black History Month in the UK. Through photographs, news articles, video, and profiles of young creatives – thenublack was formed.

It celebrates the talents of a generation born of African descent whose creative expression is influenced by their cultural heritage.

With the blog coming up to its 2nd year since launching, Gabrielle is currently working on curating an art exhibition to display the works of some of the featured artists on the site.

We have already had talks about some exciting joint projects and ventures, so watch this space!
