Not a Monolith<\/span><\/i> amplified a diversity of Black voices and perspectives by providing local, emerging Black artists with outdoor canvases in prominent public spaces across the five boroughs, as well as mentorship from Black professionals in the art world. The title of the project referred to our goal to showcase a multitude of Black identities that are more complex, nuanced and abundant than the media’s traditional representations. This program offered an opportunity for the artists and communities of New York City to directly and meaningfully engage with Black Lives Matter and other social, racial and gender justice movements.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The artists were selected <\/span>through an open-call process determined by a five-person advisory committee consisting of Black professionals with various expertise in the art world ecosystem:\u00a0<\/span>curator and cultural critic\u00a0Larry Ossei-Mensah,\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>artist and curator\u00a0Kendal Henry,\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>multimedia art and cultural producer\u00a0Natasha Logan,\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>interdisciplinary artist\u00a0Rashaad Newsome <\/strong>and artist Tatyana Fazlizadeh<\/strong>. The advisors also provided one-on-one guidance to the selected artists throughout the course of the initiative.<\/span><\/p>

Each artist created two public artworks for a total of ten projects across all five boroughs of New York City. The artists were provided with a $12,000 stipend, one-on-one guidance from the advisory committee, free studio space courtesy of <\/span>ChaShaMa<\/a><\/strong>, $2,000 in art materials from <\/span>Winsor & Newton<\/a><\/strong>, and all installation and production costs covered by Meta Open Arts<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>

Not a Monolith<\/em> was a robust collaboration that also includedd partnerships with local cultural organizations throughout the five boroughs, culminating in community events and\/or mutual-aid efforts surrounding the final artworks. Artists developed their artworks in spring 2021 and executed their visions in public spaces in summer\/fall 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
