WHO WE BE
fleurs noires publishes work that closes the gap between daily life and politics, identity and history, complaints and the systems behind them. It is named for the French phrase meaning Black Flowers – a quiet declaration that Black is beautiful, and a tribute to Clotee, a glorious warrior whose memory lives in the foundation of everything being built here. If the work doesn’t challenge something, it isn’t doing its job.
