Who’s Behind Black Art

Who's Behind Black Art is Good Black Art's debut documentary series, a four-part film made with JCINTIME Productions exploring the lives of five emerging Black artists: Adrian Armstrong, Jewel Ham, Laurena Finéus, Mario Joyce, and Tae Ham. Cameras follow each contemporary artist from their studios and home communities to the opening of a landmark art exhibition at the World Trade Center in New York City, capturing everything the art world rarely shows.

Across four episodes, the documentary moves from personal histories to the state of the art ecosystem itself: the role of Black women in the art world, representation and social movements, the impact of social media on emerging artists, and a roundtable of industry voices including artist Derrick Adams and Kickstarter CEO Everette Taylor offering guidance to the next generation. After a world premiere at DOC NYC and a finalist nod at the London Director Awards, Who's Behind Black Art remains a portrait of what it takes to rise. Stream the full series on aspireTV, Black Experience on Xfinity, and Prime Video.
