Reclaiming the Narrative: Who Gets to Tell Our Stories?

🎙️ Curator Talk Tuesday | Episode 4

✨ Beyond the Frame: Closing Gaps in Black Art Conversations

Black stories are bold, nuanced, and rooted in truth. But too often, they’re filtered through someone else’s lens—reshaped, reframed, or erased.

In this episode, I—Deneen L. Garrett, Cultural Alchemist and Dream Lifestyle™ Creator—explore the power of narrative control in Black art and culture.

We’re asking the real questions:
👉 Who gets to tell our stories?
👉 What happens when we reclaim the pen?
👉 How do artists like Simone Leigh, Toyin Ojih Odutola, and Zanele Muholi shift the cultural lens and legacy?

This episode is a call to action for curators, creatives, and cultural workers:
🖼️ Are we amplifying authentic voices—or just replicating outdated frames?

✨ Join the conversation. Drop your thoughts in the comments:
How are YOU reclaiming narrative power in your work?
