In solidarity with Black Lives Matter, Art Start is celebrating #BlackFutures month! Celebrated annually in the month of February and in conjunction with Black History Month, Black Futures Month challenges us to envision and construct a world where Black people are liberated. Learn more about Black Futures Month by following Black Lives Matter on Facebook and at @blklivesmatter on Instagram The Art Start Portrait Project follows the same vision for young people - having the freedom to explore the complexities of their identities and tell the world how they want to be seen. One of Art Start’s guiding values is that each individual has an autonomous and creative spirit which is inherently healing and liberating. Liberation is to re-imagine who one is and who one will become beyond present circumstances.

It’s Black History Month! Through an ongoing partnership with INCITE (Interdisciplinary Center for Innovative Theory & Empirics), and Columbia University doctoral candidate and Oral Historian, Terrell Frazier, Art Start supports the process of recording and making accessible black history in the making. Now in its 3rd year, Art Start youth and families who chose to participate in the Art Start oral history initiative offer their oral histories, audio-recorded and transcribed, for the purpose of creating a public-access archive.  Histories focus on topics that include: Childhood memories, parenthood, resilience, housing, experiences as a young man of color, youth experiences with gun violence, mentoring, foster care, education, the artistic and creative process, youth incarceration, and employment, among others. Thanks to the support of INCITE and the Wisconsin Humanities Council, Art Start’s youth oral histories archive will go online in 2019 so that unique and often underrepresented youth experiences, truths, and voices can join the formal anals of history through the oral history format. #artsaveslives #seemebecause #blackhistory #oralhistory #archives #representation #youthvoices #youthhistories
