CEL
Artists
CEL is a Black, female art collective founded by interdisciplinary artists Shannen SP and GLOR1A. Their collaboration started in 2020 as part of the collective Nine Nights TV, where they worked to platform Black culture in response to the persistent undervaluing of Black lives, the growing protest movements and the pandemic’s impact on nightlife and live music. CEL is a newly formed collective that focuses on Black art preservation and resistance, tackling systemic racial inequalities in the arts and the global music industry by exploring new modes of artistic empowerment. CEL aims to support Black and diaspora artists in building a new ecosystem that enables artists to thrive in the future.
