We invite you to join us on July 27th from 6-11 PM EST for an opening event filled with music and art celebrating the beginning of BlackPOP!Curated by Imani Dominique, BlackPOP! explores the interpretation and expression of “pop art” by Black artists in Toronto. Inspired by Hamilton’s 1957 letter defining the new era of “Pop Art”, BlackPOP! hopes to disrupt and redefine the parameters of this artistic style. BlackPOP! brings together Adetona Omokanye, Chawntay Barrett, cozcon, Ehiko Odeh, Imani Dominique, M.Falconer, Moraa Stump, Shane &quot;CARAKTR &quot;Stephens, Sydney Mia Gittens, and TT. The work shared by this array of artists speaks to themes ranging from joy, culture, and identity to justice, celebrity, and commercial consumption. Additionally, BlackPOP! will engage the community through an interactive installation that prompts visitors to share their definitions of “pop art” with the modern art world.Running from July 27th to August 17th at stackt market, BlackPOP! will also host exciting creative activations that will create space for local art collectives and artists to share their work. By bringing together a variety of emerging and mid-career artists, BlackPOP! hopes to create a colorful, engaging space that encourages the community to re-define “pop art” for themselves.”“BlackPOP!” is curated and produced by Imani Dominique Busby and presented with support from Mony Zakhour, Simi Olaniyan, Nathan Henry, Clayonté Gilroy, Nyrie, Sarah Itamah, and Omar Taleb . “BlackPOP!” is sponsored by CryBaby Gallery, Stackt Market, TMU’s Student Initiatives Fund, The Society of The Creative School, and Nugs Popcorn.Access Notes:This exhibition is free with the option to donate towards supporting future exhibitions.
