We sat down with Andre Uncut, archivist and self-described history buff, to talk about the preservation of Black erotic histories. Through rare photoshoots and vintage magazines spanning the 1930s–1990s, Andre challenges what gets archived—and what’s too often erased.

Dad’s Secret Stash emerges not as a collection, but as a living record of Black desire, representation, and cultural memory.

S**G makes a quiet but decisive entrance at NADA Miami, carrying Richmond’s experimental pulse into an international frame. Through the works of Huey Lightbody and Mahari Chabwera, the booth became a site of ritual, movement, and luminous Black interiority.

We visited Big Bethel AME Church to sit with Law and their Sunday mornings in Pillars of Strength — a project shaped by ritual, resilience, and the living history of a community. In this latest Art Militant piece, we explore how Law folds memory into image-making, allowing the church’s spiritual pulse to move through every gesture, every frame.

As Law reflects in the interview, “They are pillars—because despite all that they carry, they remain upright.” ()
A reminder of how strength is held, shared, and passed on.

"With Domestic Interventions, Boyle is redefining what it means to create intentional, institution-level work that centers care and mission. To experience this moment in Harlem, as the Studio Museum also opens its doors, is to feel hope and recognition of how vital new modes of exhibition-making are to the broader art ecosystem."

Read all about the newly launched Gladwell Projects () by Christiana Ine-Kimba Boyle () - a gallery program expanding how we experience art in an itinerant way. From Frank Bowling to Kylie Manning, Agnes Martin to Reginald Sylvester II, color becomes devotion: an embodied frequency, a language of memory, intuition, and transformation.

During our visit with Deep Kailey (), we found ourselves immersed in a space where art meets stillness, Sikh philosophy, and quiet transformation. In our latest interview, we explore how Kailey kneads the discipline of Simran—a practice of deep listening—into contemporary art, asking what it means to slow down, look inward, and feel beyond form.

Between gallery trips, late-night edits, and the constant rotation of titles—mom, wife, writer—she moves through the art world looking, writing, and behind closed doors, creating too.
