Artifact Uprising, a great source for prints, frames, and photobooks, is teaming up with See in Black—a coalition of Black photographers who serve as storytellers of their own narratives, uplifting and investing in Black visibility—for a charity sale. Beginning today, in celebration of Juneteenth, a selection of more than 70 images will be donated by See in Black and produced by Artifact Uprising.

“We are artists and archivists. We do not merely make images of Black figures, we document history that is often unrecorded with intentionality, respect, nuance, and care. We serve as a platform for Black people to stand proudly in their permanence,” says See in Black founders Joshua Kissi and Micaiah Carter.

Artifact Uprising will produce the prints with its professional-grade giclée print process on archival fine-art paper. All profits from the sale will support five key pillars of Black advancement: civil rights, education/arts, intersectionality, community building, and criminal-justice reform. Purchasing one of these images helps support a larger mission to combat a system of oppression that disproportionately affects Black Americans. Organizations being funded are Know Your Rights Camp, Youth Empowerment Project, National Black Justice Coalition, Black Futures Lab, and The Bail Project.

“With photography, I am able to evoke emotion without having to say anything,” says Micaiah. “As professional photographers, we are in a space where we’re able to connect with other photographers. It’s great to see everyone come together and show a vision of America, of Black America, in a sense that is through that representation from the back end and front as well.”

See a selection of images below and find some incredible work to showcase on your walls. Prints for sale ($100 each) will be available on See in Black’s website through July 3. There will be an additional option to purchase an Artifact Uprising frame for the print at 20% discount with See in Black program’s unique promo code and the company will be donating the first 1,500 large-format prints ordered to benefit the initiative.
