There is a lack of representation of Black communities within the creative economy and many Black creatives' stories will be left untold. Their artistry is undocumented.

And their genius ...

Unrecognized.

DON'T LET THIS BE YOU!

Picture this:

We gather together to remember our roots, honor our history, and shape the future economy of Black creative culture -

Challenging the status quo, dreaming up possibilities and telling the stories of the beauty of our creativity,

that is deeply rooted in our Blackness.

Storytelling is our roots and wings.

An ancestral language.

And so ... 

The BTA community platform is deeply rooted in creative storytelling. With its digital campus, and events created to organize and amplify traditionally marginalized voices in creative & culture industries through effective dialogue. 

 🎯

Our aim: to learn from the past to create the future.

BTA celebrates the economic survival of Black creative culture all over the world, especially the ancient art medicine, tattoo - spotlighting the talent of artists and the stories individuals share through their ink experiences.

Our platform is standing in the gaps to help us reclaim our narrative -

This special collective strives to help ambitious artists and creatives take their craft to greater heights using modern tools, resources and mentorship.

Bringing our ideas to light means ...

addressing the historical erasure of Black artists and Black culture from the creative economy.

Through the lens of tattoo, we envision curating a new experience for Black creatives -

one where pioneers, matriarchs, and professional artists craft an outline of the historical milestones, movements, and contributions through artistry, allowing creative geniuses like you a way to see your future self and possibilities.

Let's reclaim our stories, celebrate our artistry, and create a legacy that resonates with the spirit of our ancestors.
