SUMMARY:Free Talk by the Author of On Account of Darkness: Shining Light on Race and Sport
DESCRIPTION:Join the Museum Windsor Museum Volunteer Group for a free talk by Ian Kennedy\, author of the book On Account of Darkness: Shining Light on Race and Sport. In many ways\, Ontario’s Chatham-Kent region is a microcosm of Canadian multiculturalism. As a terminus of the Underground Railroad\, it has long been home to a large Black community Walpole Island and Delaware First Nations are nearby and many interned Japanese Canadians worked on local farms during World War II. The history of sport in the region is emblematic of the challenges that have confronted generations of non-white athletes nationwide. Each chapter uses the story of a local athlete—some famous\, others more obscure—to illuminate one aspect of the evolving relationship between race and sport in North America. Combining tales of personal triumph with sports history and social commentary\, On Account of Darkness examines systemic racism and ambivalent attitudes that persist to this day. Doors open at 6:30pm. \nWhere: Duff-Baby Interpretation Centre\, 221 Mill Street\, Windsor

SUMMARY:U Windsor Celebrates Black History – Black Futures Month
DESCRIPTION:Black History – Black Futures month is what we are celebrating at the University of Windsor. \nRecognizing and honouring Black History – Black Futures month is important in celebrating past accomplishments\, along with present and future endeavours as well. \nPeople of the African diaspora are integral to the fabric of our society not only in Canada but worldwide. Black people have been significant contributors to every field of study\, and it’s necessary to highlight those achievements as we continue to educate ourselves. For many individuals\, there was a lack of exposure to Black history growing up in the K-12 system and beyond\, which essentially is the erasure of significant elements to the Canadian curriculum. \nBlack History – Black Futures Month is an opportunity to normalize discussions about the accomplishments of people\, not only in the past tense. It’s essential to speak to the present and the future. We all stand on the shoulders of those trailblazers who came before us\, who paved the way for many who thought the impossible was not possible. Remaining in the past is deficit thinking which limits mobilization. These rich histories do not focus only on the trials but also on the triumphs. \nUWindsor is embarking on a month-long celebration with many great initiatives and collaborations\, and the addition of more events each day. Marium Tolson-Murtty\, Director of Anti-Racism Organizational Change\, established a Black History – Black Futures Planning Committee in late fall 2021. Its members met weekly to ensure UWindsor was poised to honour Black History – Black Futures month. \nStories and voices are heard and amplified not only for one month but all year round in collaboration with the B.IDE Institute\, Leddy Library\, UWSA Afrofest\, Alumni Office\, the Essex County Black Historical Research Society\, Coalition for Justice\, Unity\, and Equity\, The Black Council of Windsor Essex\, and UWindsor Public Affairs and Communications. \nWe are excited to kick things off with our “28 Books in 28 Days\,” which will engage the entire campus community. We will host trivia contests\, book prizes\, and poster giveaways from The Legacy Collexion created by UWindsor alumnus and Order of Canada award recipient Robert Small. In addition\, there will be podcasts with some of the fantastic alumni in the media\, a speakers’ series of events\, a celebration of the performance arts\, and more. Each week will offer dynamic perspectives that embody what Black History – Black Futures month is all about. \nPlease see all the Black History Black Futures events here: https://www.uwindsor.ca/antiblackracism/bhm. Updates will be made regularly.  \nThis calendar will also provide a link to the broader Windsor-Essex County Black History Month events so people can see the full array of activities taking place within the community. In addition\, we invite our faculty\, students\, staff\, alumni to engage in the host of activities this month to continue to learn and grow and learn more about our Black history\, which is Canadian history. \nIf your faculty\, program\, service area\, or department have plans during Black History – Black Futures month that you would like us to share on our calendar of events\, please contact us at abr@uwindsor.ca. \n\nMarium Tolson-Murtty(she/her)\, PhD(s)\, MEd\, BEd\, BA(Hons)\, OCTDirector of Anti-Racism Organizational ChangeOffice of the Vice-President | Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion\n\nWhere:

SUMMARY:The Artists of Colour: Abstracted Realities
DESCRIPTION:The Artists of Colour: Abstracted Realities \nDescription: Participating artists include Edward Milo Johnson\, Lois Smith Larkin\, Connie Lee-Turner\, Dennis K. Smith\, Manzella V. Vincent\, Lana E. Talbot\, Nicole A. Talbot\, James Walls\, and Susan Johnson-Washington. The voices of Black artists reverberate through history from ancient times. They cannot be ignored. No longer absent from historical records\, they continue to speak independently through media of visual art\, music\, and literature. The process of selective filtering has been practiced in art throughout history and has rendered the Black artist as invisible. The fact that works of notable Black artists of the past have been excluded from mainstream art galleries for centuries highlights a form of abstraction. Our collective voices must be raised in protest. Today the works of many eminent Black artists are recognized as historically significant contributions and have taken their place beside other influential artists. The works in this exhibit are the narratives of The Artists of Colour. \nDate: On display through February 19th \nTime: Please visit https://artwindsoressex.ca/ for hours of operation. \nLocation: Art Windsor Essex\, 401 Riverside Drive West\, Windsor \n

SUMMARY:Manuel Mathieu: World Discovered Under Other Skies
DESCRIPTION:The Haitian-born Canadian artist Manuel Mathieu is known for vibrant\, colourful paintings that seamlessly merge abstraction with figuration. His work reflects on our intertwined lives\, in which the boundaries between the past and present or the personal and political are often blurred. Sharing recollections that depict everyday scenes\, Mathieu also blends into his canvases an interrogation of the complex history of his familial homeland\, Haiti. By unearthing the traumas of state violence\, he addresses issues that remain as urgent today as they have been throughout Haitian history. This exhibition features a collection of new and past works\, including paintings\, drawings\, and ceramics\, shedding light on Haiti’s relationship to the world. \nDate: On display through February 19th \nTime: Please visit https://artwindsoressex.ca/ for hours of operation. \nLocation: Art Windsor Essex\, 401 Riverside Drive West\, Windsor
