Blackspace is a digital makerspace in North Carolina, USA, designed to offer Black and Brown youth pathways to educational and entrepreneurial success in technology, film and the digital arts, to breach the ‘digital divide’. It offers arts-based WokeShops, African-centered events and rituals, and produces creative projects.

Black communities in North Carolina experience disparities in wealth, education and opportunity. There is a lack of training, skills, resources, networks, and pathways to change life trajectory. Blackspace exists to counter that, with free workshops and curriculums in diverse subjects such as poetry, coding, animation and rap.

It has impacted the lives of hundreds of North Carolina youth and sets a benchmark for socially driven, educational community initiatives.
