Black Ocean is an award-winning independent publisher based out of Boston and Chicago.

From early silent films to early punk rock, Black Ocean brings together a spectrum of influences to produce books of exceptional quality and content. In conjunction with our book releases we manifest our aesthetic in celebrations around the country.

We believe in the fissures art can create in consciousness when, even if just for a moment, we experience a more vital way of operating in the world—and through that moment then seek out more extreme and enlightened modes of existence.

We believe in the freedom we find through enlightened modes of existence, and we are committed to promoting artists we firmly believe in by sharing our enthusiasm for their work with a global audience.

We can’t do this without you. Your support helps us continue championing vital artists and producing transformative work that resonates across the globe. Donate today and become part of the movement shaping a more enlightened, creative future.
