Black Market Chicago, presented by the #LetUsBreathe Collective, returns with a community of Black artists and artisans sharing their works.
The #LetUsBreathe Collective challenges our community to envision the world we want as we work to make those visions reality through creativity and struggle.
We are creating a world built on love and abundance instead of domination and scarcity.
We believe in a society without state violence and policing, which certainly means we need to create alternatives to capitalism and work towards a system built on cooperative economics. ...But we'ont know how to do all that yet so join us at The Black Market and help us figure it out.
