BADG LAB

Member-generated and member-led, BADG LAB initiatives represent the vanguard in Black art and design. The Lab provides space and support for artists and designers to express their artistry, liberated from the constraints of client specifications.

Supported by partner contributions, promoted by our media partners, and presented through the BADG global platform, BADG LAB initiatives include:

• Obsidian

• In- House product collections

COMMUNITY

Thriving together means coming together to learn, share, get inspired, and acknowledge our collective achievements. Our projects are designed to provide new experiences throughout the vast African diaspora, opportunities to take up space with one another as a global network of colleagues. A bonus for our members is the increased exposure we receive individually and as a collective in the industry and media ecosystem.

Community Initiatives include:

• Critical journal

• Fundraisers

• Public talks

• Member Directory
