In 'The Success and Failure of Black Art' Rasheed Araeen looks at the impact of the Black Art movement and what legacy it has left for Black Artists working today.

Some questions that Araeen seeks to answer-

What and who was the Black Arts movement?

How did the Black Arts movement fail and at whose fault?

What framework did the Black Arts movement create for Radical Black Artists working today?

What can we learn from the Black Arts movement to do differently this time around?

We will have time over the next Collective Creativity session, on Sunday 3rd of November to share our responses to this article.
