The Cocoa Butter Club

The Cocoa Butter Club exists to promote and celebrate performers of colour, creating a platform for the multitude of mediums artists create.

 

The Cocoa Butter Club strives to “decolonise & moisturise” the stages of London, UK, & abroad, redistributing the narrative of bodies of colour, providing agency and autonomy in celebrating our capabilities.

PRIM. Black

An image of a group of people meeting in a bookshop for OKHA, a queer black book club. Bookshelves line the right side of the image. In front of these are four rows of people seated on chairs. All the people in the image are black or mixed race, they are looking foward as if listening to someone speak and they are all smiling.
An image showing a black cartoon style drawing, half on a yellow background and half on a blue background. The yellow drawing on the left features a man's face, he has a beard and looks unhappy. A speech bubble reads, "I'd rather not! But if you give me a snickers I might.' The other blue image has a similar drawing of a man's face but this one has an eye patch and a scar on his cheek. There is a speech bubble that reads, "I'd rather not! Because I already found the last snickers on earth!"
