NEW ART COLLECTION "BLACK PANTHER: RADICAL PRESS" HONORS THE LEGACY OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY

A POWERFUL NEW ART COLLECTION, BLACK PANTHER: RADICAL PRESS, IS SET TO DEBUT, OFFERING A DEEP EXPLORATION OF THE HISTORY OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY THROUGH THEIR OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER, THE BLACK PANTHER INTERCOMMUNAL NEWS SERVICE (ALSO KNOWN AS BLACK PANTHER BLACK COMMUNITY NEWS SERVICE AND BLACK COMMUNITY NEWS SERVICE). THE COLLECTION, WHICH DELVES INTO THE TRIUMPHS AND TRAGEDIES OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ORGANIZATION, BRINGS TO LIFE THE ACTIVISM, RESILIENCE, AND SPIRIT OF THE MOVEMENT.

BLACK PANTHER: RADICAL PRESS DRAWS FROM THE ARCHIVED ISSUES OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY’S PUBLICATION TO CREATE VISUAL NARRATIVES THAT BOTH CELEBRATE AND EXAMINE THE GROUP'S FIGHT FOR JUSTICE AND LIBERATION. THE COLLECTION SHOWCASES THE ROLE THE NEWSPAPER PLAYED IN AMPLIFYING THE VOICES OF THE PARTY’S LEADERSHIP AND ITS IMPACT ON THE BLACK COMMUNITY DURING ONE OF THE MOST PIVOTAL ERAS IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

THROUGH A SERIES OF POWERFUL ARTWORKS, THE COLLECTION CAPTURES THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY’S COMMITMENT TO RADICAL CHANGE, THEIR COMMUNITY ACTIVISM, AND THE CHALLENGES THEY FACED IN THEIR PURSUIT OF FREEDOM. EACH PIECE IN THE EXHIBIT REFLECTS THE MOVEMENT’S REVOLUTIONARY ENERGY, WHILE ALSO OFFERING A BROADER REFLECTION ON THE ENDURING STRUGGLES FOR EQUALITY FACED BY THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

“THIS COLLECTION IS A TRIBUTE NOT ONLY TO THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY, BUT TO THE LASTING IMPACT OF THEIR WORK AND MESSAGE,” [FROM THE ARTIST], CREATOR OF BLACK PANTHER: RADICAL PRESS. “IT’S ABOUT REMEMBERING THEIR SACRIFICES, BUT ALSO ABOUT CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION ON LIBERATION, JUSTICE, AND COMMUNITY THAT THEY STARTED.”

THE OPENING OF BLACK PANTHER: RADICAL PRESS IS COMING SOON!
