ICA: Black Joy Day 2024

Join in as the ICA and the visionary Thaddeus Miles—acclaimed photographer, passionate community leader, and the heartbeat behind the Black Joy initiative—for a celebratory outdoor concert for the fourth annual Black Joy Day.

The museum’s outdoor space will come alive with the electrifying beats of DJ Jo, the soulful melodies of ToriTori, and the dynamic rhythms of Latrell James.

More than just a jubilation, Black Joy Day stands tall as a radiant beacon of resistance. Through the harmony of Black music, the depth of poetry, and profound dialogues on restorative justice, the aim is to amplify the empowerment and resilience of Black voices worldwide.

In the words of Thaddeus Miles “Black Joy Day is more than a moment, it’s a movement. A symphony of voices, talents, and spirits, echoing the resilience, love, and vibrancy of our community. Let’s come together to feel, heal, and revel in the rhythm of joy.”
