Afrocentrism Conference 2019

This workshop will take participants on a reflective journey of their experiences of being a youth through storytelling. Exploring the influence spaces have played in shaping the lives of young people, attendees will hear stories from an intergenerational panel about adolescents that centers the humanity of the black experience. How can these experiences shape the way we create spaces in the city? What can we learn from the past to shape the spaces we occupy into the future? What role does ownership play in the production of these spaces?

This workshop is an Ethos Lab comparative model aimed at exploring the nuances of black experiences in urban spaces. Through the Ethos Lab model participants will explore how black/African people can leverage cultural capital and human experiences to influence a mental and behavioural shift. Get ready to participate in exercises where we share our stories and build for tomorrow.
