Centering the Margins

À propos

Common Weal Community Arts invites you to a special evening of reflection and dialogue. We will begin with a screening of From the Margins; a compelling documentary that explores anti-Black racism and the lived experiences of Black communities in Saskatchewan.

Following the screening, the Centering the Margins workshop will provide a welcoming space to reflect on the film, share perspectives, and engage in meaningful conversations about race, identity, and belonging. The workshop will be facilitated by Lemoya Lorensen

Admission is free, and all are welcome. Although not compulsory, registration is encouraged through this link https://forms.gle/L7sXxkhQSRsoHSXS7

Need help with transportation? Please contact Judy at 306-960-3833 for assistance.

Let’s come together to center voices from the margins and inspire change in our communities.

This workshop is made possible with the partnership of Prince Albert Public Library. We are grateful for the support of the Canadian Race Relation Foundation, Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan, and the Department of Canadian Heritage.

Common Weal Community Arts

Common Weal is the only professional arts organization in Saskatchewan committed to socially-engaged practice. The importance of this cannot be understated. We are dedicated to a high standard of artistic merit, in part, so that this practice may be promoted as a legitimate contemporary art form judged by criteria that does not prioritize an object or traditional presentation. As participatory art practitioners, we value the process. The processes of socially-engaged collaboration, including exploration and expression of voice and identity, are as significant (or more significant) as a finished product or presentation.

The artists we work with understand the mutual benefit of workshop and residency activity. They are able to contemplate differing perspectives and explore new areas of interest, while expanding their bodies of work and developing their capacity to connect with the public. We believe strongly in the capacity of artists to build authentic relationships with project participants, the impacts of which tend to have a ripple effect for years to come.
