Join us on September 5, 7pm, for the re-launch of Yaniya Lee’s sold-out book Selected Writing on Black Canadian Art. A compendium of essays, reviews, and artist interviews, written by Lee and mostly published between 2017 and 2021, the publication gathers the testimonies and achievements of African diasporic artists and curators from across Canada and beyond.

On the occasion of the book’s second printing by Art Metropole and figure ground, Lee will be in conversation with Artspeak’s Director Nya Lewis and The Polygon Gallery’s Curator Elliott Ramsey about the importance of writing Black Canadian art history. The discussion will be followed by a book signing.

Presented in partnership with Artspeak

Doors at 6:30pm
Conversation at 7:00pm
Signing at 8:00pm
