Four Black Creatives Making Art Tinged With Tradition Four Black Creatives Reflect Reflections: Diasporic Reflections Four Black Creatives Belonging With Legacy

Many creative minds of the Black diaspora have exchanged ideas and influenced the world's culture throughout history. Artists, writers, poets, filmmakers, photographers, and musicians portrayed resistance movements well-represented and graphically. As a result, Black art was used to illustrate socioeconomic, political, and motivation, as well as questions during turbulent times.
What is Blackness?Is there an actual Black aesthetic to be identified across all art forms?A burden of representation for Black artists to carry or embrace? These are conversations we have with friends, not necessarily to reach a consensus, but to accept that there are many different viewpoints within us, rather than a narrow, monolithic interpretation. We learn to accept and respect those differences that are really personal.
Mavi Wants To Unlock Memories

Mavi asserts firmly that "I don't believe in a singular genius." "Anything that you think is exceptional about me is a result of my exploration and curation of outside influences, outside teachers, and outsiders."
In most interviews, the Charlotte-based independent rapper has a smoky aura, with most claiming he knows who has the highest reputation. Mavi is surprisingly modest when speaking about himself while on Zoom with MTV News to address Laughing So Hard It Hurts. His enthusiasm only increased when talking to Toni Morrison and Sun Ra, and he's especially keen to share the many books he's reading and recite quotations from his favorite authors.
