An audiovisual explorative project by Crystal Simone

the DARK web is a living ecosystem that reclaims and reimagines darkness—as power, beauty, and connection. Here, “DARK” reflects Black and queer identities, transforming invisibility into presence.

What started as a radio show and blog is now growing into a creative community space. We celebrate and archive Black queer art, music, and knowledge, while building real-world experiences where creativity can thrive. 








Our community is built around:

  • IRL gatherings and events
  • Artist collaborations and showcases
  • Community-led creative projects
  • Cultural archiving and storytelling

We’re always looking for creators, organizers, and supporters who believe in meaningful, offline connection. If you're interested in collaborating, donating, or supporting the project, let’s connect.
