A guided discussion and community roundtable with Emkay!

Emkay Adjei-Manu is a multidisciplinary artist, community-engaged arts worker and researcher. Their professional work and creative practice are rooted in arts-based research, narrative exchange, and community building as a method of using arts as a catalyst for social and political transformation. They have a Social Work background and works as a Digital Storyteller at the ReVision Centre for Art and Social Justice at the University of Guelph where they utilise various arts methods as a medium to explore conversations around systemic injustice(s) through workshop facilitation and digital storytelling. They’ve also worked as an Artist Residency curator for racialized artists for a non-profit’s arts-organization, as well as an editorial assistant for C Magazine. Through community arts leadership and collaboration, they’re interested in building spaces outside of the central core that support Black, Indigenous, & racialized artists and cultural workers who are under-resourced and multiply marginalised.
