Black Teaching Artist Lab, LLC (BTAL) is a professional development and travel abroad organization that aims to connect Black teaching artists and learners from the African Diaspora through arts education, in order to unify and strengthen intercultural understanding between marginalized Pan-African populations. We believe that through the use of art—one of the most powerful tools we have for human expression—Pan-African artists will be able to share their individual stories of the lived Black experience with Black youth, everywhere. Black teaching artists are the social, emotional, and cultural responders for young Black learners, both in our classrooms and across our world. BTAL thrives to give Black teaching artists the tools they need to become better equipped to teach Black learners, as well as to communicate and connect with other Black artists across the Diaspora. BTAL partners with existing teaching artists’, arts and cultural, and educational organizations to develop workshops and carry out BTAL’s Afrocentric Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) framework for the Black learner. The goal of this framework is to build a healthy, strong Black identity through arts education.
