BLACK HAVEN
Black Art, Stories, and Lives
Black Haven is a collective of creatives and admins who activate art justice through movement building events, initiatives and programming. We aim to be a creative playground for culture creators to be uplifted in their visions where they are provided partnerships and resource equity.
Support Black Haven
Black Haven centers wholeness and humanity in art-making. We prioritize representation in all our intricacy and intersectionality. If you believe in the vision, please help us bring it to life.
Mobilizing artists as change-makers in community.
“An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times.”
- Nina Simone
"Black Haven has created a fertile space and place for Black voices, films, and art to come alive and thrive."
— New Haven Independent
Black Haven Film Fest

Media, film, and theater in New Haven have long been co-opted by classism, elitism and racism suffocating Black creatives and their stories. Black Haven Film Fest is a platform for genius Black art to exist as it should.
