The project My Queer Blackness, My Black Queerness (MQBMBQ), founded by Jordan Anderson to explore the different perspectives of what it means to be Black and Queer, presented today the Micro Grant Week initiative, with the support of the activist brand ANTI-DO-TO, an open call born to support the creativity of Black Queer artists  with a series of individual grants of 1000€ awarded to winners to support them in their artistic activity, whatever it may be: painting, sculpture, dance, music, poetry, cinema, photography just to name a few. From the 24th then, once a day until the end of the month, the stories of the winning artists will be shared and shown on the social channels of @mqbmbq and @anti_do_to.
