Welcome to The Embers Lab

Illuminating Black life through art.

Fellowship

This space for multidisciplinary women and femme artists, scholars and creative professionals of the African diaspora to connect through art, to enrich ourselves and our communities.

Collaborate

Meet with other artists to discuss works in progress, and support work that illuminates the vastness of the arts in African diaspora, from a Black-community context.

Knowledge

Share ideas, experiences, and information as it relates to the arts and other areas of Black life.

Leadership

This is the social network home of The Embers Lab, an artist think-tank that explores the emergence of Womanist Methodologies and Womanist Arts Practices, out of cross-disciplinary and decolonial knowledge frameworks.  


“We realize that the only people who care enough about us to work consistently for our liberation are us. Our politics evolve from a healthy love for ourselves, our sisters and our community which allows us to continue our struggle and work.” Combahee River Collective Statement
