Meet "Philly" Walls: poet, photographer, and “multidisciplinary artist. She is curator and creator of the digital installation, THE MUSEUM OF BLACK JOY——a “borderless refuge for the observation, cultivation, celebration, and preservation of Black joy.”
What does Black Joy mean and why do we need a museum for it? That’s the question that propels this interview with Andrea “Philly” Walls through uncharted waters to unexpected depths as she spirits us from the inspired works of the Harlem Renaissance to the Black Arts Movement; from Philadelphia’s 1985 MOVE massacre to life's everyday moments, the African American hymn-turned-anthem, “I Don’t Feel No Ways Tired,” and beyond.
