Connecting Perspectives is a cross-border art initiative produced by the Social Distancing Festival and the Consulate General of Canada in New York. Drawing inspiration from the theme “Art Today,” 26 artists who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour from Canada and the United States were paired and funded to create new, interdisciplinary, collaborative art.
We are honoured to be featuring the works of these visual artists, poets, choreographers, and musicians. Our jury reviewed nearly 400 submissions, selecting 26 artists from across Canada and the United States, including: Alberta, British Columbia, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Manitoba, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Brunswick, New Mexico, New York, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ohio, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Washington, Washington DC, and Yukon.
These are their inspiring works.
