🌟BLACK ARTISTRY...BLACK HISTORY

UNION STATION & TD BANK TEAM UP WITH MAKE ROOM INC & LOCAL ARTISTS TO CELEBRATE BLACK CULTURE WITH INSPIRED ART.

THE EXHIBIT WILL REMAIN PUBLIC UNTIL MAY 2023

this union station exhibit theme of “black joy is resistance” came to life during many honest conversations between union, gloria swain and makeroom inc., who were all looking to create space for joy during black history month. in discussing how joy can relate to resistance, gloria swain explained “black joy is resistance” when she spoke about the racism she has experienced and how she chose joy and love as an act of resistance. this led to an open call to investigate this question and subsequently six artists were selected.

the artists featured in this exhibit are gloria swain, jibola fagbamiye, elicser elliott, rae clair, danyal barton, adetona omokanye and frantz brent-harris.
