Building Our Black Radical Imagination

Co-presented by the UGDSB Black Parent Council & The Young SeedKeepers

Join us for an immersive, youth-centered workshop exploring the Black Radical Tradition in Canada — a powerful history of resistance, creativity, and community care often left out of classrooms. Together, we’ll examine music, literature, art, fashion, and grassroots movements that have challenged systems of oppression across the African diaspora.

Through hands-on activities in visual art, storytelling, poetry, and public speaking, participants will deepen their understanding of abolitionist principles and learn how to apply them within their own communities. This workshop nurtures imagination, critical thinking, and collective empowerment.

Facilitator:DeiJaumar Clarke — educator, artist, and community organizer whose work highlights Caribbean histories of resistance in Canada.Learn more about his work: torontocaribbean.com/deijaumar-clarke-turning-activism-into-collective-learning/

Who Can Attend:Black youth ages 10+ and their families.
