This is more than an event - it is a reclamation of joy, a commitment to movement, and a powerful reminder that Black liberation is alive in us, here and now.

Through art, music, knowledge, and movement, we invite the community to take up space unapologetically and to move with the confidence that creativity and joy are our birthright. With a Black Artist Market on the campus of the Northwest African American Museum, powerful new exhibitions, our Annual Skate to Freedom program, the dissemination of books through the Knowledge is Power Program and so much more, we affirm that Black joy cannot be erased.
