Threads of Blackness: A Cross-Cultural Exploration of Blackness in Japan

Threads of Blackness: Fund a cross-cultural bridge from Japan to Ubuntu Fine Art

Support Threads of Blackness, a two-phase journey, guided by Ubuntu, linking Black American life with Japan through image, story, and gathering. Your gift funds travel across Japan’s four islands, translators and guides, Japanese sourced substrates, field documentation, and free public programs at Ubuntu Fine Art: an exhibition, community tea gatherings, talks, and workshops. Help return what I learn abroad to Philadelphia as shared presence and care.
