A Contemporary Re-visioning of Black Art Across the Diaspora.

Our Mission Statement

Black Art Review magazine is an online publication dedicated to celebrating and showcasing the diversity and richness of Black art across the diaspora. We aim to provide a platform for Black artists, writers, critics, curators, and scholars to share their perspectives, insights, and experiences on the contemporary art scene. We also seek to foster dialogue and collaboration among Black creatives and their allies across the globe. Our mission is to amplify the voices of Black artists and to challenge the dominant narratives that often marginalize and exclude them from the mainstream art world. We believe that Black art is not a monolith, but a multifaceted expression of identity, history, and creativity. We invite you to join us in exploring the beauty, complexity, and power of Black art.

Movers and Shakers of Black Art Review

Alvin Jackson - Founding Editor & Curator of The Black Art Review

A fifth-generation resident of the San Francisco Bay Area and a first generation college student with a degree in Journalism from California State University East Bay. My family reached the SF Bay Area during the first wave of the Great Migration in the 1930s.

As a student writer at Los Medanos College in Pittsburg, California I discovered a love for critiquing art and that led to a decision to apply for an internship at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Summer 2019, I found myself among a group of 18 bright-eyed student interns out of 800 applicants. I took it as a sign telling me this was my life path and I have been curating this website ever since.

During my short time at SFMOMA, I learned from the struggles of Black artists through researching historical documents and archives. This research ultimately laid the foundation for this website. Black artists are underrepresented, disrespected, and intentionally left out of opportunities that white artists receive by doing far less work. I hope to use our collective power and strength to tilt the odds in our favor by economically supporting the artistic aspirations of Black artists everywhere. Blackartreview(dot)com is a narrative space using art, journalistic ethical standards, and collective bargaining to push generations (past, present, and future) of Black artists forward.
