The Black-E has spent over 50 years driving the debate around participation and what is community centred arts practice. We intend through our cultural programme, archive and collaborative projects to deliver a creative ambition that not only improves the quality of our own work, but also enables other cultural producers to listen to the views of artists and people who have been marginalised, historically excluded by virtue of social class, gender, race and disability. We are committed to connecting artists with communities and engaging people through our high quality creative and cultural programmes.
Voices from The Song of Songs, a series of 12 paired prints, 373 mm x 300mm, created 1997-99 by Judy Chicago, on display in Liverpool for the first time, with a contextual exhibition of her life's work in the arts to date.
For over four decades, as a renowned artist, writer, feminist and intellectual, Judy Chicago's influence has been far-reaching within and outside the art community internationally. She has made the female point of view a part of mainstream art.
The Black-E celebrated its 43rd Birthday on 27th May 2011,
with the launch of ‘The 43 Game’.
You are invited to produce a photograph of a created work or a discovered scene, object, or image which features the number ‘43’. The one absolute rule is this … if a child is given the photograph and is asked what number they can find, then their answer should be ‘43’. Beyond this rule there is absolute freedom.
Celebrating forty years of the Black-E, the exhibition researches the lives of dozens of Black-E ‘alumni/ae’ (former youthful participants, volunteers and apprentices), to create an extended exhibition of the youth of the past to inspire the youth of the present. The project aims to identify the
impact that The Black-E has had on alumnae, paying particular
attention to their potential as role models for young
people currently in our community.
The Games of Art exhibition presents a selection of imaginative artworks created over the last 40 years of 'Artful Games'; and texts explaining the nature and philosophy behind the art of 'creative and cooperative' games : 'Absolute freedom within very definite limits'. This follows a principle that Paul Taylor, American Choreographer once explained as : 'give yourself a set of simple limitations and do the best you can'.
