ART IS THE WEAPON

Art Is The Weapon®, which was the podcast about artists who create weaponized art—That is, art that advocates, motivates, educates, and inspires; art that expands Black consciousness and extends Black culture—is now an eBook that is published by artGriot Publishing and available soon! The eBook format allows us to offer images, as well as new and interactive content in a more engaging format.

Art Is The Weapon discusses African American visual artists, our work, and the permanence and relevance our art should have in major museums and galleries across America and the world! Beyond museums and galleries, where can Black art that provides social commentary, advocates, or ignites activism be discussed? Other than the comedian, actor, filmmaker, or other celebrity who often speaks on behalf of Black society, Art Is The Weapon offers our point of view as visual artists. artGriot is now extending the visual discourse to the eBook format and continues the discussion about what we create and how it uplifts Black consciousness and expands Black culture.


artGriot greatly appreciates all of you who subscribed, downloaded and listened to every episode. We know that many of you are anxiously awaiting the release of part 2 of Thy Hath Turneth My Weapon Against Me, however, you will have to get the eBook to find out the conclusion of the genesis of sambo, how it transitioned to blackface and has been weaponized against us for over 200 years to present.
