chromatic black™ aims to reclaim STORY as a public common and disrupt the master narrative with good storytelling. This new role will lead the curation of groundbreaking work, artist development, and movement intelligence to help build cultural power.
In addition, Ms. Green will be essential for spearheading fundraising efforts to ensure continued investment in the fund. The Ida B. Wells Fund in particular, which Ms. Green will manage, is rooted in the understanding that building an equitable society is a creative act.

"Now more than ever, it is of vital importance that we continue to seed equitable models to support diasporic artistry: models that are not only inclusive but liberatory."

The Ida B Wells Fund provides a total of $250,000 in grants to aspiring Black artists in 34 artistics disciplines – filmmaking, visual and performing artists, literature, technology, multidisciplinary practices, investigative journalism – to create groundbreaking, socially engaged new work.
