Natasha Marin is a conceptual artist whose people-centered projects have circled the globe since 2012 and have been recognized and acknowledged by Art Forum, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, NBC, Al Jazeera, Vice, PBS and others. The City of Seattle and King County have backed BLACK IMAGINATION— a series of conceptual exhibitions. Black Imagination has engaged (and paid!) Black folks from all over the PNW region and the world— amplifying, centering, and holding sacred a diverse sample of voices including LGBTQIA+ Black youth, incarcerated Black women, Black folks with disabilities, unsheltered Black folks, and Black children. The viral web-based project, Reparations, engaged a quarter of a million people worldwide in the practice of "leveraging privilege," and earned Marin, a mother of two, death threats by the dozens. Natasha is the curator of BLACK IMAGINATION: Black Voices on Black Futures (McSweeney's, 2020) and BLACK POWERFUL: Black Voices Reimagine Revolution (McSweeney's, 2023).
