COMMUNITY+Connects EAST BAM! is a series of workshops for Black Scarborough youth (14+) to engage with the dialogue between Black history and today’s art, curated by Shamika Pierre. By navigating history, we in turn take inspiration, evolve, and understand the roots of the work we make 🌱. 

Participants will explore different visual art throughout Black Arts Movement history, creating and engaging with history and art. Scroll below to learn about our East BAM! workshops, taking place at the West Scarborough Neighbourhood Centre all February long. 

In this workshop led by Curtia Wright, participants will be engaging in artwork based on afrofuturism elements, inspired by the likes of artists such as Betty Davis, Erykah Badu, Earth Wind and Fire, Sun Ra, Janelle Monet etc. Participants will craft their own album cover with a portrait that represents their own dream of their future or their dreams for all Black folks' future.
