Join in conversation with celebrated Boston area artists about their work, creative processes, collaborations, and experiences with WHERE ARE ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE AT, a project and movement directed by fine art photographer and Watertown resident Archy LaSalle.
Joining Archy LaSalle for this dialogue are artists Jay Lamour, JaPix Belmer, Maddie Lam, Jules Cleo, Craig Bailey, DaNice D. Marshall, George Annan Jr., Grace Ramsdell, Olivia Slaughter, and Jake Stout.
WHERE ARE ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE AT is a grassroots organization whose mission is to bring attention to and help art institutions rectify past injustices of underrepresenting Black and Brown artists in their permanent collections. LaSalle states, “WHERE ARE ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE AT is committed to ensuring that all Black and Brown artists have the freedom to pursue their creativity in all ways, regardless of their family history and culture. Celebrating the art of all artists and particularly the younger generation of Black and Brown artists, WHERE ARE ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE AT will continue to stay vigilant and committed to the importance of access and inclusion to the permanent collections of our art institutions.”
