About

 

Bold As Love started in 2007 as a platform for people–particularly African Americans–to discover Black rock music. The aim was to explore how the increasing prominence of Black rock, Afro-punk and black alternative music was impacting Black imagination and how we conceive of and understand ourselves in the world.

Since then, it has evolved into a space dedicated to highlighting the black creators and curators of progressive, left-of-center culture here in the States and globally.

In 2011, Bold As Love Magazine produced The Festival of the New Black Imagination.
