The Barka Dal – ‘An Abundance of Welcome’ (Cleanse/Pause) by Cheryl Umbles of Cheryl Umbles Interior Design
How do we see our future home life? How does our home reflect our values? Great questions to explore with family this Black History Month.
In the midst of a pandemic, the Black Artists + Designers Guild believe we need to imagine a future for our families that is completely different. BADG, "a community of independent Black makers in creative industries is committed to investing in Black ancestral futures by taking ownership of our narrative, and creating spaces to celebrate Black creativity and culture through design." Their latest project, Obsidian aims to empower a million Black families to affirm our right to occupy space, dismantling decades of environmental injustice and social inequity. The Obsidian Virtual Concept House is a collective vision of the future designed by BADG members who created a home that reflects African American values. For the month of February, BADG have created the Obsidian Experience where they will showcase the house, along with live discussions designed to encourage thoughtful conversations about the home being a place of thriving for one million Black families.
For more information visit the Obsidian Experience at badguild.info and sign up to explore their virtual house where Black creators are constructing new visions for Black family life, Donations can also be made to their project.
