BLACK*ACROBAT MISSION STATEMENT
BLACK*ACROBAT (B*A) serves as a platform to increase the visibility and support of “black” people in the arts and other community building ventures.
Founded 2009 by Kiebpoli Calnek, B*A is a not-for-profit organization that empowers communities and under served populations through performance, conversation, and by providing affordable professional aerial training.
Fusing arts & activism by depicting people of color achieving what seems impossible, B*A’s work seeks to inspire our audiences to feel they too can reach what has been regarded as unattainable or lost.
Our projects often tackle provocative dark subjects and re-imagine stories of the black Diaspora.
BLACK*ACROBAT has received generous funding and support from Elizabeth Streb, Astrea Foundation, Asian Arts Initiative, and The New York Foundation for the Arts.
