BlackInk Issue 6

"So much of recent Western history, and especially the evolution of its language, has been shaped by systems of power that reflect biased worldviews and uphold inequality. Because of this, I find it problematic to rely on language alone ton express ideas or perspectives. It is already embedded in structures I did not create, often used to define me before I can define myself" Jean Abreu

BlackInk is a magazine focusing on Black arts, heritage and cultural politics. An interface between a physical magazine and digital content, BlackInk is a creative response bringing together a range of interconnected international voices from across the African and African Caribbean Diaspora and indigenous communities.

This issue features so many esteemed contributors: the imminent Vice-Chair of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination; the founder of the largest alliance of Black British artists; the first Black Muslim woman to become the President of the National Union of Students; the co-organiser of the 1981 Black People’s Day of Action. We also take a moment to acknowledge some of the pioneers that have come before us such as Patrick Parson, Paul Henry and Jean “Binta” Breeze.

Towards a Global Idea of Dance and the Black Body – Away Home at Home
