Explore the powerful voices of Kimberly Drew and Jenna Wortham as they discuss Black Futures, a thought-provoking journey into Black art, culture, and activism.
When Kimberly Drew (This Is What I Know About Art) and Jenna Wortham (New York Times Magazine staff writer and Still Processing podcast host) set out to collaborate, they were guided by a central question: “What does it mean to be Black and alive right now?” The resulting work, Black Futures, brings together diverse contributors across multiple formats—images, essays, recipes, tweets, poetry, and more—to capture and preserve flourishing Black creativity and art in our digital world. Join Drew and Wortham along with Black Futures contributor Chicago sociologist and writer Eve L. Ewing, for a conversation about the radical, imaginative, provocative, and gorgeous world that Black creators are bringing forth today. This program is presented in partnership with OTV.
