Kollaboration SF x #BlackLivesMatter

Black lives matter. They should have mattered at all times, not just when it comes to upholding their safety against police brutality. It should matter on how we consume art and commerce, it should be embedded in our lives. Here at Kollaboration, “We believe that artistry is one of the most effective and inspiring forms of activism, capable of changing hearts and minds to perceive the world as a more inclusive and harmonious place.” However we as Asian-Americans have our own struggle with how we use our silence, as a protection of being harmed. Throughout history, silence is the ongoing weapon that harms Black community, minimizing their pain and anger. If we Asian-Americans want to share the stage with our Black artists, we have to acknowledge our privileges and be a better ally to Black people.
