black & rural

Black & Rural is a federally funded living heritage project that delves into the hearts minds of black folks tucked away on Canada’s countryside. Through this ongoing ethnographic work, Shayna seeks out, honours and showcases the reflections of rurally based Blacks (like herself) to defy the monolith of what “matters to Black Lives”.

Funding Partners: Canada Council of the Arts, BC Arts Council, Columbia Basin Trust
Heritage Partners: BC Black History Awareness Society; HeritageSask, SACHM
Production & Artistic Partners: Pi Theatre, Dark Glass Theatre, Civic Theatre
