Intro - Welcome to The Black Ordinary Podcast!
February 22, 2025
Hello and Welcome to The Black Ordinary Podcast!
​
Hosted by curator and archival researcher Kaitlyn B. Jones, The Black Ordinary Podcast platforms Black artists, Black community archivists, and Black historians working to preserve the histories and culture of Black-American people. Each episode introduces listeners and viewers to Black-American community-based archives and archival projects that are redefining how they interact with institutional archives and utilize museum-based archival practices.
​
From unique community-owned licensing models to art-based traditions and intergenerational oral histories, each conversation is rooted at the intersection of art, archives, and the autonomy of Black-American people. With conviction, The Black Ordinary platforms the collective memories of Black America. As Black people live and breathe, so does the Black Archive.
