iniva is a UK-based visual arts charity which grew out of the 1980s Black British Arts Movement and is dedicated to nurturing and disseminating a critical counterpoint to Western art historical narratives. Their funding of 72,500 USD will support a professional archivist to catalog and make accessible artist files and slides from iniva’s archive of radical and emergent contemporary artistic practice centering Global Majority, African, Asian, and Caribbean diaspora perspectives between 1994–2005. This project will contribute to wide ranging research and academic knowledge and better demonstrate the legacy of diasporic artist practices to inspire younger generations of artists and curators.
