Love Month

Are you tired of the concept of Black Love being limited to the same heteronormative debates being recycled on Black Twitter every two business days? So are we! That’s why for the month of February we are celebrating Black Love in all its forms.

We will be exploring a three dimensional picture that moves away from cis-het-male-centred preoccupations and explores queer love, platonic love, familial love, how we love ourselves and everything in between! The scope of Black Love is vast and the possibilities are liberating.

So join Black Ballad for Love Month this February on our website and across our socials.

“We don’t often just see ourselves existing in film. We need to normalise Black people doing simple things and one of those things is being in love.”
