Black
Cartographies
An evolving archive of art and research tracing Black presence, memory, migration, belonging and power across cities, landscapes and borders.
The Ground
Beneath Us
Join an exciting Canada Council for the Arts-funded arts and research project exploring Black Montréal. Make your voice heard, share your thoughts, and help us map out the Black experience in Montréal.
Tell the stories that move you in your own words.
We
want to
take
your
portrait!
In a time when Black voices are being silenced and communities erased, we want to represent and capture Black Montréal in all of its many realities and beauty in our project, The Ground Beneath Us.
Get in touch and let’s collaborate.
There’s no charge, and you will receive a digital copy of your portrait to share online.
Professionally printed portraits from your session will also be available for an extra charge if you wish.
We
want to
tell
your
story!
Where do you call home in Montréal? Where do you feel safe and wanted, and where in the city have you felt unwelcome?
We want to hear, archive and share your stories of belonging, and soon you’ll be able to pin your experiences to an interactive map so that we can all see where belonging starts and ends in our city.
Coming soon!
