Black History Here, Now, Then, Always: A Conversation Across Exhibitions
Sunday March 27, 2022 | 11 am – 12pm
Don’t miss this special webinar in partnership with the Royal BC Museum and the BC Black History Awareness Society discussing living and ongoing Black belonging.
Curators from the exhibitions Sankofa: African Routes, Canadian Roots and Hope Meets Action: Echoes Through the Black Continuum dive deep into conversation as they explore intersections across these two powerful and important exhibitions that highlights Black history and belonging in BC and beyond.
Hope Meets Action: Echoes Through the Black Continuum is presented by the BC Black History Awareness Society in partnership with the Royal BC Museum, sharing the story of Afro-diasporic “British Columbia” history, past, present and future. Black “British Columbian” history has long been whitewashed in the annals of colonial history. Against the backdrop of white-centring walls, this exhibit daylights the living and ongoing history of Black belonging, told in this manner by the Black community for the first time.
Best suited for young adults and adults.
