ONE NIGHT ONLY

 

ART EXHIBITION, POETRY, LIVE MUSIC, FOOD & DRINK

Saturday, August 23, 7 – 10:30 PM

​

For Black August 2025, Baltimore Artists Against Apartheid, The Crow's Nest, and Baltimore PSL present BLACK AUGUST, calling for art submissions that honor this legacy of struggle for liberation. More than just a reflection on past rebellions, this exhibition is a rallying cry to carry the fight forward today.

​

BLACK AUGUST commemorates and carries forward the struggle and sacrifices of Black political prisoners and freedom fighters - from George Jackson's work organizing behind bars in San Quentin to the Attica Prison rebellion to the Haitian Revolution to Nat Turner's rebellion to the March on Washington. These moments of resistance, among many others, from inside and outside the prison system, have challenged the oppression and exploitation of Black people and especially prisoners, which remain foundational to the immense wealth of the U.S. capitalist class.

Many of the same struggles affect us today, not only through the struggle of the Black community but across all groups struggling for liberation. Through the lens of Black struggle, we can reflect on how to liberate ourselves from these exploitative systems.
