About this Event

Where is Community Music?
AfroWaveTO x MMI Music Showcase

Making music is a process of relationship building. Beyond building relationships between notes, or instruments, it is also a way of building connections between people and the places it is composed, rehearsed, performed, and experienced. This exhibition maps the rich assemblage of spaces that mark the musical journeys of 10 Black GTA-based musicians affiliated with AfroWaveTO an organization that platforms local African, Caribbean, Indigenous Black Canadian and Afro Latinx musicians.

Presented as part of Artspace TMU's Black History Month and Beyond celebrations, Where is Community Music? is the result of collaborations between AfroWaveTO and Mapping the Music Industry, a community-based research project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

An opening reception featuring performances by artists involved in this project will take place March 9th, 2026 at 7:00 PM at Artspace TMU
