Burying New England's history of racial violence and oppression was the work of many hands. At Atlantic Black Box, we believe it will take just as many hands to uncover the truth and to build a culture of repair. Our organization provides communities with the tools, resources, and support needed to recover and make sense of suppressed history through public programming, research assistance, community dialogue, place-based education, artistic expression, and advocacy. 0 0 62063 In 2023, Atlantic Black Box partnered with the Permanent Commission on the Status of Racial, Indigenous, and Tribal Populations to carry out the Place Justice Initiative, a statewide truth-seeking and historical recovery project. Through a broad-based investigation into racial harms and an investment in restorative dialogue, Place Justice has engaged communities throughout the state in asking, Whose memory is visible and celebrated and whose has been erased or misrepresented? How do the politics and practices of public remembrance and forgetting continue to impact communities today? Other important partnerships included Art in the Wake, a two-day symposium in May 2023 organized by Indigo Arts Alliance, the Center for the Study of Global Slavery (Smithsonian Institute), and Atlantic Black Box that brought together artists, curators, and historians from around the world to engage in dialogue around the history and legacies of slavery and forced migration; and Passages in American Art, a fundamental reinterpretation of Portland Museum of Art's collection that platforms multiple voices, reveals new ways of looking at some of the museum's most beloved works of art, and invites community members to drive the conversation. In 2023, Atlantic Black Box additionally served as event co-organizer for Maine Black Voices Advocacy Day, the State of Black Maine Symposium, and Mapping Maine's Black Heritage. In addition to programming, ABB was involved in many projects over the course of 2023 involving public education, curriculum development, professional development, advising, and community engagement. 62063 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 X X The Organization 7747229036 PO Box 8771 Portland ME 04104 Meadow Dribble Executive Director, Secretary 45.00 X X 35475 0 0 Dustin Ward President 0.50 X X 0 0 0 William J Adams Vice President, Treasurer 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Daniel Minter Board Member 0.50 X X 0 0 0 35475 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 87288 156318 243606 Honorarium 900999 1385 1385 1385 244991 1385 0 0 35476 24833 7095 3548 26000 18200 5200 2600 4703 3292 941 470 310 310 1819 1273 364 182 4706 4406 200 100 1147 1147 6097 4164 1339 594 2372 681 1594 97 349 349 3666 2567 732 367 1357 950 271 136 2066 2066 Research materials 1697 1697 91765 62063 20461 9241 17204 176410 17204 176410 5980 0 5980 X 17204 170430 17204 170430 17204 176410 153226 0 X 0 0 0 X 18113 17425 243606 279144 18113 17425 243606 279144 117556 161588 1385 1385 280529 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b Atlantic Black Box's form 990 is reviewed and approved by the full board and Executive Director.
