The New Black Imagination Festival

About the Festival

The New Black Imagination (NBI) Festival is a celebration of the people and ideas who are exploring possible tomorrows today, with a focus on transformative Black artists, activists, thinkers and entrepreneurs.  In fact, its mission is to center Black artists as catalysts for cross-disciplinary conversations that help us make sense of our current and urgent moment.  Through a series of panels, keynotes, workshops and performances, the Festival will amplify ideas, create connections, and arm people with the inspiration they need to continue the important work of creating a more just society.
