The Black Creative Voice
Four part series to mark Black History Month
To continue its work platforming underrepresented voices, Create Jobs commissioned creative collective, chl.world to produce a content piece which spoke to the experiences and work of Black people from the UK’s creative scene, past and present.
The series was titled The Black Creative Voice and throughout October 2020 launched three written essays followed by a three-minute film, The Black Creative Voice which spoke to rappers, podcasters, models, designers about their position in the UK’s creative scene.
“For each generation to pass the baton from one onto the next, the creative voice has to start somewhere. To draw a line between the old and the new is not to project the figure of bygone legends onto a new generation of talent, but to establish a timeline of resistance to adversity and of creative innovation between them.”
