Unique and quality

The Organized Uproar insignia brings two truths together: the discipline of a curated gallery and the unstoppable energy of Black creativity. A precise circle and clock-like ticks speak to care, scholarship, and continuity—our promise to steward archives and timelines with rigor. At the center, the bold exclamation and mirrored wave-forms capture the call-and-response of the Black aesthetic: gospel to jazz, protest chant to hip-hop hook, drumline to spoken word. Order frames it; the roar lives within it.

Why it embodies our collection

• Community & Continuum — The ring symbolizes the global Black circle. Africa, the diaspora, and homecomings, linking elders to emerging voices, fine art to street practice, classroom to cipher.

• Curation with Intent — The evenly spaced ticks echo curatorial structure: periods, movements, and milestones mapped with care.

• Urgency & Voice — The exclamation stands for work that confronts and delights, art that names, heals, refuses, and reimagines.

• Sound Made Visible — The symmetrical arcs render rhythm itself: polyrhythms, praise breaks, and protest waves that shape our visual language.

• Palette with Purpose — Charcoal recalls graphite, ink, and soil; the red accent suggests spirit, struggle, and joy—the lifeblood of Black art.

What it signals in the gallery

Paintings, textiles, sculpture, photography, installation, and sound pieces live side-by-side, archival depth with contemporary fire. The insignia tells visitors to expect rigor and resonance: histories recovered, futures prototyped, and everyday Black life centered with beauty and precision. It is a seal of intent, to order the archive and amplify the roar so every wall label, catalog spine, and program carrying this mark announces the same promise:  Black artists leading the conversation, together.

The R.O.A.R. — Revelation Of A Revolution

Artist: B. Hill-Glenn
Collection: Organized Uproar Art Collection

A lion’s roar rises from the silhouette of Africa, its mane and muzzle carved directly from the continent’s profile. Behind it, a halo of stars crowns the scene as Pan-African bands sweep across a dusk sky. The setting sun glows at the base—night ending, a new day beginning.

Hill-Glenn compresses history and prophecy into one emblem: the R.O.A.R.—Revelation Of A Revolution. The continent becomes both body and voice; the lion, a stand-in for courage, stewardship, and uncompromising truth. The circling stars suggest nations and diasporic kinship, while the red, black, and green honor liberation movements past and present.

In keeping with the Organized Uproar ethos, the work marries discipline and urgency. Clean geometry frames the turbulence of change; a single, unmistakable silhouette carries centuries of sound—chants, hymns, drumlines, and speeches—into a focused call. It invites the viewer to hear the future arriving, and to answer with vision, unity, and work.

OUR P.O.W.E.R.

Our Purpose • Overflow • Wisdom • Expectation • Resurrection

Artist: B. Hill-Glenn 

Collection: Organized Uproar Art Collection

In stark black and white, Our P.O.W.E.R. stages a visual pilgrimage across the National Mall. The converging planes of the Reflecting Pool form a road; the Washington Monument stands like a pillar of witness; the seated figure at the Lincoln Memorial anchors the composition—history looking forward. In the foreground, a chorus of raised silhouettes rises into a single, sheltering form, a white star at its center. Crowd becomes vessel; protest becomes prayer.

The piece translates faith into architecture and movement into liturgy:

• Purpose – The strong axial line directs the eye—and the will—toward a holy assignment.

• Overflow – The reflection doubles the monument, echoing abundance poured back into the people.

• Wisdom – Lincoln’s gaze suggests counsel from elders and texts; civil memory as teacher.

• Expectation – Upraised arms and open negative space make room for what is promised but not yet seen.

• Resurrection – White light breaks through the silhouettes, a quiet cross-current of hope and new life.

B. Hill-Glenn’s minimal palette sharpens the message: when form is stripped to essence, testimony becomes undeniable. A life aimed at purpose, filled to overflow with wisdom and hope, anchored in the resurrection power of the Lord.
