Black GRRRL Healing is a multimedia project spanning many disciplines both academic and artistic. The three year project began with a mixed-media poetry anthology released in 2016. This playlist describes this process with an interview between shah noor and ibalu alba explaining the scope of the work. this is followed by five audio recordings of the artist performing the poems within the anthology over instrumental beats.

The project has also resulted in multiple scholarly publications, a master portfolio, two films, a podcast interview and multiple artist residencies.

At the end of March ‘19 we were honored to close out our first annual Alignment Festival with SWI. This hour long discussion takes a look at The House of Malico, the founders and our staff. Sasha Kelley, Queens D. Light, Shah Noor, and Emily McLean discuss their childhoods, how they came to HOM, and how HOM was conceived. 

We were so honored to be interviewed by Amelian Kashiro Hamilton, and to have her amazing organization be apart of Alignment Festival.
