ABOUT Nat Turner Project: Established in 2016, Nat Turner Project enables artists of color to go beyond the traditional expositions inherent in presenting art borne of marginalized perspectives to a presumed dominant culture; allowing BIPOC artists freedom to create or express their own language within and without the parameters of racial commodification or designation. The primary goal of NTP is to create an environment of inclusivity, a communal harbor for artists previously silenced by institutional constraints, and to proactively provide priority spaces to BIPOC artists.
