BOMB
BOMB Magazine has been publishing conversations between artists of all disciplines since 1981. BOMB's founders—New York City-based artists and writers—created BOMB because they saw a disparity between the way artists talked about their work among themselves and the way critics described it.
Today, BOMB is a multi-media publishing house that creates, disseminates, and preserves artist-generated content from interviews to artists' essays to new literature. BOMB includes a quarterly print magazine, a daily online publication, and a digital archive of its previously published content from 1981 onward.

Mellon Foundation, BOMB has made all of its content—over 7,500 primary cultural documents from the past 37 years—available for free.
The Oral History Project is a series of interviews that collects, documents, and preserves the life stories of New York City-based visual artists of the African Diaspora. (2023)
