Welcome. This is a living, community-powered archive dedicated to recording Black cultural legacy — across generations, geographies, and genres.

The Black Joy Archive exists to document how we’ve always built the table — through our festivals, institutions, movements, and memory work. It’s a growing record of Black-led projects that honour our ancestors, nurture our present, and shape our collective future.

From diaspora film festivals to oral history projects, Black-owned museums to joy-filled galas — this is where it lives. This is how we remember.

“Culture isn’t just aesthetic. It’s ancestral. And it deserves to be archived — on our own terms.”
