How do we build a sustainable cultural haven in the margins made for and by Black and QTBIPOC art communities? In the face of systemic and institutional oppression, this question is difficult but necessary to ask. In this final A Talk, we bring together two champions of DIY culture whose work in artistic social activism and community building strives to answer this question.

Join two powerhouse changemakers Just John of Blank Canvas and Rosina Kazi of Unit 2 for an in-depth and self-moderated conversation about the love, labour, and politics of grassroots organizing. This must-hear-conversation is an essential lesson in Toronto’s history of DIY alternative art spaces and community building in the margins.
