Black Women's Arts Festival
Mission
The Black Women's Arts Festival (BWAF), a Philadelphia based community event, focuses on the visibility and viability of black women artists of all genres and media without regard for: age, gender expression, physical ability, religion, sexual orientation or size. BWAF has been a 501 (c) (3) organization since 2007.
Herstory
The Black Women's Arts Festival (BWAF) was founded and produced in March 2003 by Founder and Former Director Cassendre Xavier. Xavier, a multi-media artist who coined the term "renaissance negresse" in 2002, "...grew up with little support and [role] models of professional Black women artists." In response to this lack of visibility Xavier produced a 3-day event at The Rotunda in Phila., PA., which showcased the work of black women artists in: performance, visual arts, literary arts, and film.
Now in its 6th year BWAF has become a non-profit which produces a once-yearly 4-day festival (July 30-August 2, 2009) showcasing: Visual Arts & Photography, Film, Theatre Arts, Dance, Music, Literary Arts, Workshops, and Vendors. Check out: www.BWAFphilly.org.
