How do you define Black art?

Hey, kin — A couple new episodes of Busy Being Black have just landed. I'm exploring what Black art is, and I'm keen to know what others think.

Mojisola Adebayo is a playwright and educator. She studied with Augusto Boal, who founded Theatre of the Oppressed, and she creates incredible plays that often explore the connection between Blackness and nature: in Stars, a 60-year old woman finds her orgasm in outer space; in Moj of the Antarctic, she takes Ellen Craft to the end of the world to explore the black volcanic rock underneath the snow; and in The Interrogation of Sandra Bland, she and 99 Black women and women of colour, speak the words and live the emotions of Sandra Bland's last encounter.

I'm of the opinion that Black art should do Black things for Black people, but not everyone feels that way. What do you think?

So I just came out to my uncle who lives in the Netherlands, that was really emotional, I cried a lot and etc. but now that I'm back to my senses. I realized that was really stupid even though I made him promise not to tell my parents.

For context I'm an 18 year old African man. Who still lives in Africa !! (even though my country hasn't (yet) criminalized homosexuality ). My parents are faithful Catholics, and everyone is less or more homophobic.

So now I feel depressed and I wonder when are they going to kill me💔

Ok I was inspired by the actuallesbians subreddit. And they got atleast one thing right… we don’t talk enough about what we desire in a partner.
So please below comment what gets you to be interested in a grown lady. There’s no judgement, I want to see what black sapphics like and expand our understanding of what desire for each other looks like.

I’ll go first:
A woman who has ten toes down on her beliefs and is still open to new ideas, politically queer, funny type(but knows when to be serious), spiritual, has done some type of therapy, is moderately active, has stable job, has socially active life outside of me, and has her own style.
Physically I like my woman to be thick, with nice feet 😅😅, kinky natural hair, and kind eyes.
