SUMMARY:The Art of Black Girlhood in Canada Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Assistant Professor Desirée de Jesús (from the Dept of Communications & Media Studies), along with co-researchers, Dr. Kisha McPherson (Toronto Metropolitan University) and Crystal Lynn Webster (University of British Columbia), were the recipients of a SSHRC grant for their research project Mapping Black Girl Geographies and Belonging in Canada ( https://www.yorku.ca/cfr/mapping-black-girl-geographies-and-belonging-in-canada/ ).\nAs part of this project, the research team will be running a free exhibit called The Art of Black Girlhood in Canada in the Atrium Gallery at the TIFF Lightbox between February 9 – 22. The free exhibit presents a series of collages that explore the cultural, social, historical and geographical forces shaping the lived experiences of Black girls in Toronto and Vancouver.  Acknowledging Black girls as important participants in Canada’s future, the exhibit celebrates their dreams, beauty and resilience in Canada’s history.\nOn the evening of February 19, TIFF will be hosting a screening ( https://www.tiff.net/events/rocks-with-vibrant-visions-the-art-of-black-girlhood ) of the film Rocks, as well as the short film, On a Sunday at Eleven with a moderated conversation with filmmaker, Alicia K. Harris – this is also a part of the larger project. Interested viewers are invited to arrive at 5:30 pm to experience The Art of Black Girlhood in Canada exhibit, followed by the screenings and on-stage moderated conversation starting at 6:30 pm. Tickets to see the films are free for members and people under-25 (as part of the TIFF Next Wave initiative) and can be purchased on the TIFF website.\nLearn More about the Film/Exhibit\n
