BACCE takes the So Soul San Francisco Black Arts Salon Series online with interviews and stories of Black artistry from around the globe.

Each month the Salon Series features interviews with artists working outside of the United States, offering an exciting and unique look at what’s happening everywhere. In January, So Soul hosts actor and playwright, Nambi E. Kelley.

BACCE takes the opportunity in this unprecedented moment to stay engaged with their audience and to make connections with artists working in other countries to discover new ways to practice and be Black artists.
