ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Archiving Black Festivals in Vancouver
What comes to mind when you think of Blackness in Vancouver? How about Festivals? What role do Black folks play in this city's Festivals? What are the Festivals that celebrate and uplift Blackness in Vancouver and the rest of the Lower Mainland? How are these festivals connected? How long have they been running? How have they changed over time?
The following blog is the online version of a project on Archiving Blackness in Vancouver, created for Dr. Phanuel Antwi's English 470 class called "Rerouting the Black Atlantic" at the University of British Columbia, located on the unceded traditional territory of the Musqueam people. Feel free to browse each festival's blog page for materials from past events and other relevant information.
