The Cultural Justice Project is a community-centered multimedia hub that highlights arts & culture work for social change by Latine/Black communities in the Greater Philadelphia region.
We advance cultural preservation of folkloric arts and creative movement narratives through digital storytelling.
The Cultural Justice project has built long standing connections with artists, cultural workers, and grassroots organizations in the region. We collaborate with these stakeholders in identifying pivotal stories that must be documented, especially of elders who are the cultural keepers of local folkloric traditions.
Black/Latine/Afro-Latine communities across the Americas and the Caribbean have a history of using culture in moments of organizing, resistance, and celebration. Though work by artists and cultural workers is often invisibilized, they continue to fuse creativity into movement building.
Artists & cultural keepers work at the intersection of storytelling and social change.
