liquid blackness supports the efforts of the #J20 Art Strike, an act of noncompliance on Inauguration Day. For more on the rationale behind the strike, read Coco Fusco’s op-ed for Hyperallergic. In the days ahead and as a sign of solidarity, liquid blackness will continue to share the op-eds of other contributors to Hyperallergic in support of the strike.

In a recent post for the Indiana University Press blog, frequent liquid blackness contributor, Charles Linscott discusses further the claims of his article “#BlackLivesMatter and the Mediatic Lives of a Movement” as recently published in Black Camera.

liquid blackness would like to lend its voice in encouraging the fundraising efforts for the June Givanni Pan African Cinema Archive (JGPACA). Through a crowdfunding campaign, the JGPACA seeks to raise money in order to make June Givanni’s collection of 10,000 objects and documents of Pan African cinema available as an online archive for public research.
