BlackSpace Indianapolis
We localize the 14 principles of the Manifesto to build Black power and Black joy in Indianapolis.
Our Story
Indianapolis joined the BlackSpace family in 2020. Following a series of local initiatives around the issues of Black cultural significance, a group of local Indianapolis organizers sought to align with a national group to push for creative Black urbanism locally. Our network has organized spaces for Black gatherings like a community liberation conversation series and outdoor roller skating pop-ups honoring Indianapolis’ Black recreation heritage.
2021 Year in Review
After a very busy year, we took some time to reflect on our first year. Deep listening was our focus for 2020 during the height of the pandemic, and we used our findings to celebrate Blackness in 2021. Check out our “Year in Review” to see all the ways we celebrated and amplified Blackness.
