ABOUT
BLKPAPER.com is a site harnessing the voices, expressions and depictions of rage and hope by black artists, photographers and graphic designers. It is work designed for activists, organizers and protesters seeking justice in the streets and in their communities to fight systemic white supremacy, and demand criminal justice reform and police reform. It is organized by artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh and Wyatt Closs of Big Bowl of Ideas.
“We’re angry. Because black people must navigate a society built on white supremacy. From micro-aggressions, to larger systems of racism. It’s why we get followed in stores. Why black kids are suspended from school more often than white kids. Why our lives are unfairly treated at traffic stops, in the education system, in housing practices, in the workplace, in the legal system. At home, at church, in a park, on the lawn, in custody, on a train, on a door step, in a stairwell.”
