On November 21, Art Windsor-Essex opens two significant exhibitions that reveal erased narratives of Black communities and patterns of migration in Canadian history: Deanna Bowen: Black Drones in the Hive and North is Freedom: Descendants of the Freedom-Seekers on the Underground Railroad. Both exhibitions highlight how Black Canadians have fought for and been promised freedom and autonomy, and the resistance that they encountered in their paths. Today, being “woke” and informed meets continued resistance, hindering societal change. Join us for a community conversation at AWE, where our panel of experts will explore contemporary discussions around freedom, and how freedom is not just a historical achievement of the past but also an ongoing effort to recognize and address current social and racial inequalities.
With Leslie McCurdy, Irene Moore-Davis, Dan McDonald, Michael Brown, Charlotte LeFrank, John Cappucci, Brian McCurdy and Pat Jeppoe.
