THE BLACK ANGELS PROJECT

The lack of imagery depicting Black people as angelic beings reflect a broader issue of underrepresentation in religious and cultural iconography. Historically, art has predominantly portrayed angels with European features, reinforcing a limited view of divine beauty and purity. This exclusion perpetuates stereotypes and marginalizes African spiritual expression.

The absence of Black angels in art and media denies Black people the opportunity to see themselves in sacred, uplifting roles. Addressing this gap through diverse depictions of angels can affirm the spiritual dignity of all people, fostering inclusivity and a broader, richer cultural narrative.
