Whoever Drinks Black, Earns Color intends to extend beyond the important gesture of solidarity on behalf of institutions and publications

In July of 2020 we initiated a monthly column with the English language publication, The Florentine dedicated to the centering of Afro-Descendent cultures in the Florentine and, more broadly, Italian context, highlighting concerns and celebrating writers that have been actively engaged over the years. The column Chi Beve Nero, Guadagna Colore (Whoever Drinks Black, Earns Color) intends to extend beyond the important gesture of solidarity on behalf of institutions and publications that has emerged with the current protests across the world and establish an ongoing and longstanding commitment on behalf of this publication to under-acknowledged voices perspectives and histories rooted in the city of Florence and across the country of Italy. Each article is accompanied by art works that draw upon a range of works made by Afro-Descendent artists in the context of Italy.
