Afrocentricity in Focus: Dancing with HeART

Presented by Christian Asare

A Black Gold Arts Homemakers commission

Christian Asare will be creating a diptych of portraits of members of the Manchester QTIPOC group House of Noir, highlighting each member’s creative contributions to the enrichment of the LGBTQ+ community in Manchester.

House of Noir is a fresh vogue house on the vibrant national scene of vogue houses – it is Manchester based and a fashion centred house, platforming QTIPOC excellence, inspiring creativity, self-love and expression and is part of Rainbow Noir.

The whole process will be documented as Christian invites you to share the development, progress and evaluation of the paintings across the period from blank canvas to finished paintings.

Homemakers Project Overview

Homemakers is a series of new commissions, where we invite our favourite artists and artistic partners to combine to create work at home, for an audience who are also at home.

We’re not pretending that all art can be experienced online just as satisfactorily as in person; but we want to demonstrate the innovation of artists who work all kinds of forms, by inviting them to respond to this very specific context. We want to bring contemporary new performance to audiences all over the world, in all its form-flexing, mind-expanding, surprising subversive brilliance.

Access

We are ensuring that all the Homemakers commissions are accessible as possible for everyone so if you need to access this project in a different format please email access@homemcr.org
