*Beginning this Thursday, February 6, “Who’s Behind Black Art” will air on aspireTV to celebrate Black History Month.
We spoke to writer and director John Campbell about his award-winning docuseries last year when it premiered on Comcast’s Black Experience on Xfinity. The four-part series spotlights five rising Black contemporary artists—Adrian Armstrong, Jewel Ham, Laurena Finéus, Mario Joyce, and Tae Ham—chronicling their journeys as they navigate the art world and prepare for a major exhibition at New York City’s World Trade Center.
Campbell’s series not only brings viewers into the minds and processes of these artists but also features insights from prominent voices across the art industry. The filmmaker said “Who’s Behind Black Art?” aims to inspire people to hit up their local art gallery.
Check out the trailer below.
“…we go to amusement parks, we go to concerts and so many other places, maybe go to a gallery, maybe go to a museum and see what some of these Black artists are doing,” Campbell told us. “It’s phenomenal when you get to be in front of a piece by someone who looks like you.I love the idea of people creating their own ideas. I want people to remain inspired so that we can achieve and do more and also be supportive and part of the community.”
He added, “Often the conversation about art focuses on world-renowned artists. Who’s Behind Black Art gives you early insight into the struggles, challenges and triumphs of five very different young artists with big hopes and dreams for their future.”
Watch our full conversation with John Campbell in the clip below.
