Obsidian’s Black Listening special issue provides an environment for thought about, and engagement with, Black aesthetic practices that attend to active aural witnessing/discovery. This type of listening spans concepts of time, environment, space, ability, embodiment, genre, and historical markers. We ask: “What does it mean to ‘listen —Black’?”
Black Listening affirms embodied awarenesses of Black folx holding space for our diversity, our struggles, our desires, our joy, our suffering, as well as multiple layers of context—of BEING—grounded in the fact /materiality /actuality of each of us BEING both a person and an essential element of a collective creativity.
