BLACKOUFLAGE
DESIGN MIAMI
A environment that encourages connection
and reflects multi-dimensional Black identity.
BADG members Leyden Lewis and Danielle Fennoy curated “Blackouflage” for The VIP Collectors Lounge at Design Miami, November 30-December 5, 2021. The Lounge was more than just a place for the art and design crowds to find respite; it provided a space that encouraged real connection and meaningful conversation.
"Blackouflage" visualizes the preconceived homogeneity of Black identity—seen + unseen—and constructs creative space for the further expansion of individual Black expression.
Black identity is inherently multi-dimensional—fluid, varied, and complex. It is as subtle as the myriad shades of black hue that exist in the world. Not one black but many, and within each shade of black—depth, variation, richness.

We created an environment to foster conversations on how space-making can form the foundation for Black creatives to maintain physical, social, emotional, and creative well-being.
