About the event
CTRL+Black is not just a convention—it’s a cultural movement.
Curated by the Waterbury Black Business Network, CTRL+Black 2025 is a one-day creative experience designed to inspire, connect, and empower Black and Brown creatives, visionaries, and innovators. With this year’s theme, The Aesthetic is Resistance, we’re reclaiming space, reshaping narratives, and celebrating the radical act of showing up boldly as ourselves.
This is where community meets creativity. Where art, activism, and entrepreneurship collide. Where cultural expression isn’t just showcased—it’s weaponized, honored, and monetized.
Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, content creator, curator, or culture shifter, CTRL+Black is your space to take control of your brand, your platform, and your legacy.
