SUMMARY:Yuri Dojc: North Is Freedom: Descendants of Freedom-Seekers on the Underground Railroad
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Dorothy Abbott. This evocative photographic essay celebrates the descendants of freedom-seekers who escaped slavery in the United States in the years before the American Civil War.

Most came to what is now Ontario\, to places such as Windsor\, Chatham\, Buxton\, the Niagara Peninsula\, Owen Sound\, and larger cities like Hamilton and Toronto. \nDate: Through June 22nd\, 2025Time: Visit https://artwindsoressex.ca for admission fees as well as dates and times of availability.Location: Art Windsor-Essex\, 401 Riverside Dr. W.\, Windsor \n

SUMMARY:InTheBlack: Canada – The Windsor Project
DESCRIPTION:AWE is proud to present InTheBlack: Canada – The Windsor Project. A vital part of AWE’s collection since 2017\, this work amplifies the voices\, experiences\, and perspectives of Black Windsorites. The Windsor Project features participants ranging in age from the mid-20s to the late 80s. And while each voice is distinct\, a pattern emerges as participants describe their personal journeys; they speak about overcoming adversity\, mourning loss\, finding means to empowerment\, expressing love for the city of Windsor—and their pride in being Canadian. This major work was commissioned by Dr. Kenneth Montague\, an art collector and curator based in Toronto\, and the founder and director of Wedge Curatorial Projects. \nDate: Through February 23rd\, 2025Time: Visit https://artwindsoressex.ca for admission fees as well as dates and times of availability.Location: Art Windsor-Essex\, 401 Riverside Dr. W.\, Windsor

SUMMARY:Deanna Bowen: Black Drones in the Hive
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Crystal Mowry. Originally produced by the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery\, the exhibition Black Drones in the Hive unfolds in a series of visual chapters to reveal the strategic erasures which have enabled Canadian canons such as the Group of Seven to exist without question or complication. The exhibition draws its title from a racist assessment of William Robinson\, a Black journeyman\, as written by a city official in Berlin\, Ontario (now Kitchener) in the records of the Waterloo County House of Industry and Refuge (1869–1950). This sentiment echoes the centuries-long project of devaluing Black labour and the promise of autonomy.  Combing historical texts\, petitions\, and archives ranging from the local to international\, Bowen weaves together narrative threads of migration\, power networks\, and hierarchies of remembrance. \nDate: Through February 16\, 2025Time: Visit https://artwindsoressex.ca for admission fees as well as dates and times of availability.Location: Art Windsor-Essex\, 401 Riverside Dr. W.\, Windsor
