Cha: what does Brownness mean to you? A print publication from Brown Leaders and Makers Exist (BL&ME)
In October 2022, the team behind the BL&ME Interest Group launched Cha, a print publication with a simple brief: ‘what does Brownness mean to you?’. 27 artist-researchers from around the world responded to explore this evolving mode of cultural identification in relation to its representation and inclusion in arts and culture.
