My Queer Blackness, My [Black Queerness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folx-health) is a [digital art project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-digital-artwork) that's shining a light on an often marginalized community, bringing queer Black artists together to share their experiences through a creative lens.

Taking a global approach, this project includes a daily journal that chronicles the experiences of trans and non-binary writers, as well as video, photography and literature from other artists. In addition to exploring culture and identity through a variety of mediums, this project fundraises for TransWave Jamaica and For The Gworls -- two charities with work that centers around protecting the Black trans community. For this three-week fundraiser, 12 artists [donated photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-editions) that represent their interpretation of Black queerness.

The prints range from £100 to £1,000 GBP with all proceeds being donated.
