When I started this thing called INTL BLK, the idea was to use culture to draw connections between diverse populations in different nations to break down borders and build up our claims to humanity in the face of histories of colonization, forced migration, bondage and reactionary repression. Heady stuff for a music label. So I’m happy to announce a new partnership that will be kicking off in November, one that will allow some of this cebebral theoretical stuff to play out in real life.
This upcoming Day of Black Conciousness in Brazil, INTL BLK will be partnering with @afrolatinotravel to offer a trip for all those interested to visit Brazil and get a taste of the growing Black Conciousness movement that is growing there. We will bring a group from North America to visit important historical sites and engage with contemporary Afro Brazilian culture over 10 days, culminating in the celebration marking Dia de Conciencia Negra, or Zumbi Day as its known popularly. The idea is to foster learning, exchange and plant the seeds for solidarity. If you’re interested visit @afrolatinotravel for more information including costs and itinerary! (at Brazil)
