Overview

Black Mind is a grassroots art-as-activism organisation that centres the collective mental health, wellbeing, justice and joy of all Black people in Britain. Born from the lived experiences of two unapologetically (and clinically) mad Black, queer, disabled women, Black Mind creates opportunities for our community by showcasing Black artists within our annual zine (#BadMindZine) delivering Wellbeing Workshops, Open Spaces (#BlackMindBlooms) and producing culturally informed live events that centre the abundant difference that lies within the Black experience in Britain. Black Mind believes in sustainable change with accessibility at its core. Our purpose is to leave behind a legacy of care and support for Deaf, disabled, queer and our othered Black siblings. We know that creative engagement is essential to the collective mental health, wellbeing, justice, and joy of Black people in Britain. We make it happen by intentionally cultivating loving, welcoming & open environments for our community.
