Hear from artists Adeyemi Adegbesan (AKA Yung Yemi) and Samar Hejazi and learn how to document your work, present it digitally, and share it virtually in this 1.5 hour hour webinar that will support artists of all disciplines who exhibit their work in public spaces, through shared learnings about documenting your work.

Reflecting on blackness through pre-colonial – colonial - present day and future timelines, across regions, religions, varying levels of income, and political lines; Adegbesan interrogates the dichotomy of the richness of black experiences with the imposed societal homogeneity of ‘Blackness’. Through his work Adegbesan pulls from these varying elements to create Afro-futuristic portraits that embody history, future, and culture all in one.<a href="https://www.samarhejazi.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Samar Hejazi</a> is a multi-disciplinary visual artist based in Toronto. By channeling her ancestry through the historical choreography found in traditional craft practices, Hejazi observes the complex conversations between conceptual ideas of social construction and self identification. She uses her art to examine how the crossing of cultures forms new ways of identifying oneself while exploring the development of cultural narratives.
