somethin’ different is more than just music. This project is being lifted by Black artists, organizers, and dreamers driven by the belief that we can build somethin’ different for ourselves. We pop our shit when it comes to our talents, we leave room for growth in each other, and we celebrate the art we create.

We’re bringing Black artists in the South together to lead these conversations, help our people organize, share resources, and be paid for artistry. Here are some ways you can help keep the revolutionary art vibes flowing.

Connect us with people to push the project

Visual artists, organizers, actors, singers, rappers, poets, graphic designers, fashion designers, photographers, videographers, models, lawyers, and funders… Everybody can lift this project. From those who already know they do somethin’ really well and the people who just want to try somethin’ different.

don’t underestimate the power of Community

Send a text, pick up the phone, or get your people together to talk about what’s being said through this art.

Find artists who live near you and support them consistently.
Find organizing groups who are working near you and support them consistently.
Both work towards necessary freedoms.

Join the conversation by making a video talking about things in the project that resonate with you. What do you want to do differently? What do you want to change? What do you want to challenge? Use #somethindifferent so we can really talk about it.
