A Black Space is an intentionally curated and designed spaces for people of African Descent and their allies to collaborate, commune and create practical solutions to end racism and systemic inequalities.
Black Spaces give people of African Descent the space and agency to reimagine who they are, who they want to be and what impact they want to have within their local communities and the world.
The Black Space Symposium is about being and belonging. Within British Columbia there is no cultural hubs, community infrastructure, or neighbourhoods that directly serves the specific needs of people of African descent. The intention of the Black Space Symposium is to create the awareness of the necessity of black spaces, highlight the various resources within our community, and develop practical solutions to alleviate our inequities. The Black Space Symposium will consist of various panel discussions, art exhibitions and music performances. All centred and designed to showcase the Black Experience.
