A Black Space is a space created in opposition, in solidarity, as a refuge, a think tank, and ultimately as a source of power. -David Thomson

A world where Black creatives are resourced, communities feel seen, and cultural storytelling drives social, artistic, and environmental change.
Our Story
Our Story
Black Space Media was born from a desire to reimagine what is possible for Black creatives and community builders.
Rooted in the work of Afro Van Connect, our journey has expanded from grassroots cultural programming into a multidisciplinary creative ecosystem spanning film, digital media, community leadership, and land-based cultural design.
From hosting youth workshops and summits to producing films, festivals, and international cultural projects, we continue to build spaces where creativity becomes a catalyst for healing, empowerment, and collective action.
