Google's Union Black - Sounds of a Nation
Since July 2022 I've served as the Creative Production Lead & Exec Producer c/o Forward Slash on the launch of Union Black - Sounds of a Nation by Google.
Presented by Youtube & Google Arts and Culture. it's a wide spanning documention of Black British Music
From strategic planning to creative execution, we worked hand-in-hand with Google & @cozy.global to craft a trailer that sets the scene for #UnionBlack.
This expansive online series is available on YouTube and Google Arts & Culture, featuring a rich array of videos, audio docs, podcasts, stories and photographs.
#UnionBlack will take you on an exciting journey, celebrating the cultural contributions of Black British artists that have shaped this Island and the world over, as told by the community themselves.
