Music shouldn’t segregate. However, the creators of Black is Punk were inspired to create the exhibition due to the negative experiences they’ve had as Black girls enjoying good ole’ Rock'n'roll. As a political art assignment, the founder of the exhibition, Nikaiya Lawson carved the iconic slogan and character for traditional woodblock printmaking. The prints were created not so much to recognize black people in punk, but to say that punk already exists in black culture!
