Exploring Black & Indigenous Futurisms: An Artist Talk in the Present

How does the past inform our future? Within the prism of Afrofuturism, the future pays homage to the past, and the present bears witness to the future.

When reimagining the future, Black and Indigenous peoples, cultures, identities and artistic practices are not often reflected to their fullest potential.

Hart House Black Futures Series invites you to join us at the crossroads of art, culture and community to hear how Black and Indigenous artists are grappling with their place, culture and identity in a future that is yet to exist.

A repository of stories, knowledge, counter-narratives converge as Ekow Nimako (Lego Art & Sculpturist, Farhiya Jama (Afrofuturist Visual Artist), and Skawennati (Multimedia Artist) along with Moderator Dr. Karyn Recollet (Professor, Women and Gender Studies, U of T), discuss concepts related to Black and Indigenous peoples ally-ship, shared future, artistic practice and justice-seeking solidarities.

All are welcome to this free event. Light refreshments will be served!
