Business for the Arts Broward presents artist Chire Regans, known as VantaBlack, during the Arts Mean Business Speaker Series where she’ll discuss the importance of art and community. The emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement pushed her art in the direction of social awareness and change. Chire has dedicated both her artistic practice and her life to community advocacy and activism. Her work responds to urgent societal concerns and functions as a critical platform to amplify the voices of community members who are often silenced. Over the past decade, Chire has focused primarily on community advocacy and depicting social narratives without distortion in various mediums.

In South Florida, Chire continues to merge her artistic practice with community-led activism, emphasizing the art of storytelling as a means of engaging with communities with radical empathy and transparency. The event is free to attend for all, please email Robyn Vegas at rvegas@bfabroward.org to RSVP.
