BLACK HISTORY MONTH FLORENCE
The Soul of Nations Foundation is proud to be contracting an Italian collective called The Recovery Plan, administered by the Associazione Culturale BHMF, through Soul Center for the Arts and the Advocacy and Research Program to help support Afro-Italian artist residencies, co-lead artist workshops, and help to guide the local artistic and research production process.
The Recovery Plan is a Black cultural center that fosters transnational exchange around Afro-descendent cultures and peoples employing research, production and documentation in relation to cultural production as a means for examining the history and contemporary legacy of Blackness in a global context. Inaugurated in September 2021, the Recovery Plan is a space for critical thinking and recovery from historical inaccuracy and the recovering of histories that still await narration. The Recovery Plan hosts a range of events, seminars, workshops and residencies designed to reflect upon Italy as a historic site for cultural exchange. Presented as a range of platforms, this initiative is a rallying of voices designed to facilitate cross-cultural research and dialogue through the art exhibitions, performance, lectures and socially engaged education.
Partnerships help to ensure the stability and expansion of our work toward fostering art and research programming rooted in contemporaneous and sociocultural empathetic themes.
The Soul of Nations Foundation respectfully acknowledges that we currently operate on the ancestral lands of the Munsee Lenape, Piscataway, and Anacostan peoples, which have not been ceded. Thank you for your commitment to Indigenous and Black communities. Please, share our organization’s work with those in your network who are just as invested in BIPOC progression as we are.
