[Un]Archiving Workshop

As a part of Museum of Toronto’s Black Diasporas Tkaronto-Toronto exhibition, this workshop explores archiving and the importance of documenting Black stories, voices, & experiences.

Facilitated by artist and curator Aaron T. Francis, this workshop invites you to reflect on the past, present, and future of Black Canadiana through each others’ family photographs.

In sharing images and stories with one another, this workshop fosters connection and offers a reminder of all that we have in common.

You’ll arrive with family photos from the past (preferrably pre-2000), and you’ll leave feeling encouraged and equipped to embark on your own family/community archiving project.

Time permitting, participants will be given an opportunity to digitize their image(s) and finalize the image caption for distribution via social media such as Vintage Black Canada‘s Instagram page.
