Now available for FREE world-wide – Season 3, Episode 4 of VeraCity, “What’s in a Name?” This documentary produced and directed by Chalmers Fellowship winning artist Nadine Valcin, explores the power of toponymy and why place names matter. Drawing on expert opinion from academics, artists, and community activists the program addresses contemporary movements to rename streets and places that celebrate colonialism and white supremacy in the Greater Toronto Area.
I’m hugely thrilled to have my work showcased alongside such esteemed colleagues in creativity and scholarship such as Melanie J. Newton, Sam Howden, Susan Blight, Jon Johnson, Camille Turner & more.
This film is a perfect resource for educators looking to explore issues of place and contemporary activism around racial justice.
