Black History Month Assembly - Wednesday, February 21
Throughout the month of February, the Student Equity Committee has been highlighting various Black artists on our cafeteria windows at 1320 Yonge and on the morning announcements as part of our Black History Month celebration.
On Wednesday, February 21, we are excited to welcome Canadian Afrofuturist artist Adeyemi Adegbesan, aka Yung Yemi, to our assembly. Adeyemi’s work will further our learning of how his art “examines the intersectionality of Black identity” within the Afrofuturist context.
To learn more about Adeyemi’s work, which has been showcased both nationally and internationally, please visit his website.
