Carmen Jones

In a Southern town during World War II, an army corporal named Joe is stationed near a parachute factory where Carmen Jones is employed. Fickle and flirtatious, Carmen manages to steal Joe away from his fiancée, and the army as well, and they run off to Chicago together. But Carmen loses interest in Joe when she meets and successfully woos Husky Miller, a prize fighter on his way to the top.

Vision

We envision a world where Black creativity is celebrated, supported, and integral to redefining artistic and cultural landscapes.

Values

We value championing Black artistic excellence, nurturing creative unity, and empowering community-driven growth.

Our Vibe

01.

We are AUD—your chill collective where being Black, queer, creative, and unapologetically yourself ain't just accepted, it's celebrated! Pronounced like "odd," AUD embodies Access, Unity, and Development for Black artists. So go on, laugh a little louder, express a little harder. We got you.

Sharing Our Stories

02.

AUD is odd—and we like it that way. Why? Because we're dedicated to shining a light on the artists who defy categories. Our mission is all about providing the resources, platform, and community to lift each other up. We're the kinda place that believes in you, even when the world hasn't caught on to how dope you are yet.

Power Collabs

03.

We link up with other movers and shakers – artists, collectives, you name it. These collabs are all about pooling our strengths to make bigger waves in the art world. It’s about unity and strength in numbers, because together, we’re unstoppable.
