Join us on February 22 from 2pm-4 pm for a curator’s tour of 5 Artists 1 Love, an annual exhibition celebrating Black creativity in our community. Listen as curator Darren Jordan shares his insights about the depth and vibrancy of Edmonton’s African Canadian creative communities and learn more about the artists on display. In its 19th year, this year’s exhibition includes artwork by Favour Olayinka Abimbola, Jabari Broodhagen, Jamelle Davis, Cherlene Johnson and Dara Ojo.
About the Speaker
Born in the UK, Darren immigrated to Canada with his family in 1975 at the age of eight. In his home, he was taught to appreciate the beauty and diversity of other cultures as well as what they had to offer. He believes that food, music, dance and art are conduits to such exploration. This is reflected in his work, which often incorporates a great deal of colour & expression with some graphic elements.
Through 5 Artists 1 Love Darren has worked at bringing together various artistic disciplines within the “Black Community” under one accessible network. He was quoted saying,” If you can’t find a scene or there is no scene, then you make a scene.”
