Blackbird Revolt

Blackbird Revolt Promoting social change through conscious creativity. MSP-based, Black q***r woman owned The idea to form a company came about in Fall of 2016.

Influenced by artists and activists, we founded Blackbird Revolt because we felt compelled to engage our community through art and design. We noticed the continued lack of representation and the intentional exclusion of diverse voices from the dominant narrative. We are an alternative to that exclusion. At Blackbird Revolt, we acts as a platform for conscious creatives looking to transform our com

munities. We want to find ways to support the causes we care about, while providing opportunities for others to do the same. Through design, and other forms of art, we aim to inspire people to engage in activism and movement work. Blackbird Revolt aspires to break the social & political barriers that keep us caged. Our designs go beyond media and apparel, we find creative solutions to help challenge the way people move through the world.

Have you supported a Black-owned business this month?

It’s Black Business Month, and we’re not afraid to say it: you should be shopping, building with, and investing in Black businesses all year round.

Although Blackbird is closed this week, you can still support us by shopping our online store or supporting our Patreon.

If you believe in Black businesses, put that belief into action.

Shop Black. Support Black. Invest Black. All year long.

We’ll be closed August 24–28 for Black August.

For folks wondering, what is Black August? Here’s a quick educational moment:

Black August began in the 1970s within the California prison system as a tradition honoring Black freedom fighters and political prisoners. Today, Black August commemorates the leaders, movements, and ongoing struggles that center Black liberation and abolition in the face of an anti-Black system.

During this week, our staff will take time to rest and reconnect because at Blackbird
we’re committed to carrying this legacy forward: fighting for the rights and joy of ourselves and our neighbors.

We’ll see you when we reopen August 31st. 🖤

The racialized incident from yesterday at the studio is shocking to some but is a constant reality and threat for businesses like ours. We are working to ensure the safety of our team while working to keep our community informed at a speed that honors our ongoing work AND rest. Comments will be answered in due time. Thank you for your patience.

We had visitors in our studio today.

They came into a place we find comfort and threw away all decency. They made inflammatory and racist remarks and felt comfortable doing so on camera.

We don’t ask folks to agree with us, we know most don’t. But respect our space. Because the values we uphold apply to every person, even folks who come into our space and disrespect it.

Nothing we believe is radical. It’s basic care for humanity. These men are a small part of the reason we do what we do; we live in a racist society.

Introducing the SIGBI × Blackbird Revolt: Q***r Legacies Poster Collection

Q***r liberation has always been fought for by people who dared to exist authentically, loved boldly, and refused to let the world define the limits of their humanity. This collection honors three Black q***r icons whose lives continue to shape our movements: Marsha P. Johnson, Stormé DeLarverie, and Miss Major Griffin-Gracy.

"No Pride for some without Liberation for all of us." — Marsha P. Johnson

"It was a rebellion. It was an uprising. It was a civil rights disobedience—it wasn't no damn riot." — Stormé DeLarverie

"I don't need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them." — Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

From the Stonewall Uprising to the fight against the AIDS crisis, from protecting q***r spaces to building sanctuaries for Black trans communities, their legacies continue to light the path toward freedom.

❤️ 50% of all profits from this collection will be donated to The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative (SIGBI), a nonprofit committed to eliminating the social intolerance that impacts LGBTQ+ individuals.

These posters are now available on our website to buy.
