CUT in Blaque
Showcasing Diverse Talent
The ‘Closet Unlocked Theater (CUT) in Blaque’ is a space where communities can unite in unison, love, and support to showcase Black Queer talent and enjoy music entertainment from various artists.
This initiative combines a sample of the artist's catalog of work and a summary of their accomplishments to display representation throughout industries that have historically excluded Black LGBTQ+ folks.
*Blaque (adj): a trait describing an entity existing at integrated identities on the Black LGBTQ+ spectrum.
