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:TheDrum 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.
