The Vancouver Art Gallery presents Celebrating Black Futures, a month-long program focusing on the intersection of art, film, and poetry. This bespoke line-up, brought together in honour of Black History Month, celebrates the exciting new wave of Black art and cinema from Vancouver and around the world.
Vancouver Art Gallery Celebrating Black Futures
The Gallery has partnered with the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) to present four film screenings that speak to the future of Black and African cinema. The program presents a contemporary snapshot of the multilateral nature of African, African American, Caribbean and Black Canadian culture and cinema. The series launches on Thursday, February 8, with a special evening of live jazz followed by a screening of Sam Pollard and Ben Shapiro’s Max Roach: The Drum Also Waltzes (2023).
In addition to the film lineup, the Gallery’s first-ever Poet in Residence Jillian Christmas will mark her residency with Day of Delight at the Gallery. The building will be brought to life through thoughtful conversations, workshops, flower crown-making and a poetic tour of the exhibition Denyse Thomasos: just beyond. Celebrate Black History Month as a family on Monday, February 19 at Family Day at the Gallery. Admission includes painting workshops, exhibition tours, poetry readings with I Dream Library, paper flower making and Jillian Christmas’ reading of her children’s book The Magic Shell.

The Unknown Comedy Club has announced The Underground Comedy Railroad, a five city stand up comedy tour with 8 shows this month, is coming to Vancouver on February 24th.
The Underground Comedy Railroad Tour 2024
- Date: Saturday, February 24, 2024
- Time: 7:00pm and 9:00pm
- Location: The MOTN (1826 Triumph St, Vancouver)
- Admission: Tickets available online for the 7:00pm and 9:00pm shows in Vancouver
Each year The Underground Comedy Railroad invites local Black comedians to perform on each stop of the tour increasing their opportunities to reach a larger audience, and often to perform on stages they might not otherwise have the opportunity to perform on. The showcases celebrate the 12th anniversary of the annual tour that has travelled across Canada during Black History Month since 2012.
Beginning February 3 in Toronto, the tour hits the road with Black comedians from across Canada including tour co-founders Rodney Ramsey and Daniel Woodrow, plus Tamara Shevon, and Keesha Brownie, with special guests Travis Lindsay, Violet Gray, Akeem Hoyte-Charles, Simone Holder, and Peter Bowen.
About the Tour
The tour was created by Rodney Ramsey and Daniel Woodrow in 2012 to create opportunities and introduce the voices of black Canadian comedians to new audiences abroad. Every year a new line-up of comics is selected for their hilarious and uniquely Canadian comedic perspectives on everything from race to everyday life. The Underground Comedy Railroad is now well known for being the first ever all black comedy tour in the country, bringing diverse perspectives to regions who have never experienced this kind of unique cultural event.
