Time to Clear the Air: Art on Environmental Racism by Mi'kmaw and African Nova Scotian Youth
The Environmental Noxiousness, Racial Inequities & Community Health Project (ENRICH) (which is being conducted through the School of Nursing at Dalhousie) has launched "Time to Clear the Air: Art on Environmental Racism by Mi'kmaw and African Nova Scotian Youth" in collaboration with the School of Environment & Sustainability at Dalhousie.
The purpose of this initiative is to create a platform for Mi'kmaw and African Nova Scotian youth to give voice to their experiences with and perspectives on environmental racism through art (music, poetry, spoken word, dance, graphic art, photography, painting, short fiction, storytelling, etc.). The initiative hopes to spark greater awareness of and dialogue about environmental racism among Mi’kmaw and African Nova Scotian youth.
If you are an artist (or know someone who is an artist) who is willing to facilitate art workshops for youth or wish to learn more about the project, please contact the coordinators at the email below.
