Join us in celebrating African Heritage Month with a thought-provoking panel discussion featuring artists from Down Home, an exhibition at the Dalhousie Art Gallery curated by Fabiyino Germain-Bajowa. Through their unique works, these artists share layered stories that illuminate the strength and vibrancy of African Nova Scotian and Black Canadian life and identity. Drawing on their distinct cultural backgrounds and personal experiences, the artists will engage in a conversation exploring themes of diverse representation and cultural continuity through art and creative expression.

ASL interpretation will be provided.

Presenters include:

Chantal Gibson – African Canadian author, poet, artist, and educator Kayza DeGraff-Ford – African Canadian visual artist Rebecca Fisk – African Nova Scotia visual artist and educator Preston Pavlis – African American visual artist Vanessa Thomas – African Nova Scotian digital artist/muralist
