28 days is not enough to capture the impact, legacy, connection, innovation, diverse heritage, community and love… but in the meantime we will celebrate, practice rest, embrace joy and most of all remember.

We encourage you to check out Dalhousie Art Gallery’s new exhibition, It’s About Time: Dancing Black in Canada 1900–1970 and Now
