To call the present moment in pop culture a “renaissance in Black art” would be a given. On silver screens and through radio waves, between stanzas, and, yes, in even TikTok shorts, Black artists are and always have been cultural vanguards, even while powerful institutions have failed to pay them proper dues. In a year stocked with violence, loss, and grief, Black art has been a lightning rod for joy and mourning alike.
At Georgetown, too, the Black creative community thrives on, producing vibrant art on a campus much more designed for white consultants than Black artists. As singers, actors, poets, dancers, rappers, writers, or something else entirely, these creatives have developed unforgettable, heartful work.
