Black Artists + Designers Guild || BADG

The Black Artists + Designers Guild (BADG) was founded in 2018 by Malene Barnett, an artist based in Brooklyn, NY, to combat the lack of representation of Black talent and culture in the design industry.  BADG is a global platform representing a curated collection of independent Black artists, makers, and designers across various art and design disciplines who are at the top of their respective fields.

BADG strive towards creating inclusive art and design environment, through equity and inclusivity, by providing visibility and opportunities for their members. In addition, through their programming and events,(a) they create dialogue, (b) take action towards rewriting the narrative behind the misrepresentation of our ancestral legacy in design and (c) bring awareness to the inequitable design culture.
