Juneteenth falls right in the middle of one of the world's most famous and largest creative festivals, Cannes Lions! For the advertising and creative world, there is no getting around it — it’s the busiest and most festive time of year for our industry. So what happens when you need to work through an important holiday? Earlier this year, our team spoke with the DEI team at Cannes about creative ways to honor Juneteenth when you still have to be on and connected for the international festival. One idea was working with brands like Because Of Them We Can, whose main focus is to shine a light on Black History and to share stories of the world's first. What better way to honor the spirit of Juneteenth than celebrating the first creatives that paved the way so people of all backgrounds can attend Cannes, and achieve success in our industry. How are you honoring Juneteenth at/during Cannes? Do you have any other ideas? Please share in the comments so we can continue the conversation.

The 2024 theme for Black History Month this February is: "African Americans and the Arts" spanning the many impacts Black Americans have had on visual arts, music, cultural movements, and more. The Smithsonian Institution has a wide-range of events happening, arts resources, and even podcasts and virtual exhibits. One vitual exhibit is called Making a Way Out of No Way and it asks: How do you make a way out of no way? For generations, African Americans worked collectively to survive and thrive in the midst of racial oppression. Through education, religious institutions, businesses, the press, and organizations, Black men and women created ways to serve and strengthen their communities. They established networks of mutual support, cultivated leadership, and improved social and economic opportunities. They also developed a tradition of activism that paved the way for broader social change. Take a closer look at this exhibit: https://lnkd.in/eTuSVYFz All month long, The Smithsonian showcases new exhibitions with impact from Black Americans on visual arts, music, culture.
