The BAP Times
April 2026 | Vol IV
Thank you for your patience! Sorry I’m late! At BAP, we are not always there when you call but we are always on time! Thee Author is trying to become a PhD, and it has been difficult to make exact dates for the newsletters/books.
Note: Book Four is coming! Upon publication of our fourth book, we are taking a break as we matriculate the FIRST-EVER Black Artist’s Residency ON MACKINAC ISLAND brought to you by A Black Artist’s Path and the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo. Thank you so much, ACGK, for your incredible support and fiscal sponsorship in this project.
To those interested in applying, sponsoring, or donating, please fill out our inquiry form.
Additionally, horoscopes will be taking a back seat until May, and we want to thank EL's Archive for being so kind as to offer her gifts for our first three editions of our newsletter. We love you very much and hope to see you flourish in all you do moving forward with and without A Black Artist’s Path. <3 With that, please enjoy our April newsletter, with photos of Black Sudanese life, land, and joy, in the hopes that we all do our part to end slavery, in all of its forms, in our world. If you want to save lives and give to the people of Sudan who are doing work towards abolition, consider donating to Khartoum Aid Kitchen, an organization run by Sudanese diaspora members “born out of necessity as a response to the humanitarian crisis that developed in Sudan following the outbreak of war” (https://www.khartoumaidkitchen.org/about-kak).
Thank you for loving your people, and enjoy our newsletter.
