Black Sustainability, Inc. (BSI) will present its ninth annual Black Sustainability Summit October 11 through 13. The zero-waste event continues to serve as a premier platform for African-descended sustainability practitioners, focusing on community-driven solutions to climate and social challenges. The three-day summit will feature interactive presentations, participatory impact funding and an inaugural mixed-media art exhibit for their inaugural State of Black Sustainability Report with the goal of communicating data through a somatic experience.

The art exhibit will offer an immersive experience for attendees, combining visual art, Afrofuturism, sustainable fashion, eco-housing and more. Family-friendly activities include youth programs and an electric vehicle display. Youth agriculture, home economics and upcycling programming and projects will be offered to children two years and older. There will also be an outdoor electric minicar show.

“The summit highlights solutions to climate challenges across the global South, offering participants an opportunity to engage in interactive and creative ways,” says Lauriel Stewart, communications and marketing specialist at BSI. The event will also feature youth programming in agriculture and home economics.

Ticket prices range from $25 to $165. Day 1 will be held virtually, with a networking event in the evening. The second day will be held at the ArtsXchange in East Point.
