Black Mosaic: The Afro-Caribbean Canadian Experience, hosted from 2 to 4 p.m. at the MacLaren Art Centre (37 Mulcaster Street).
Attend an engaging presentation on Canadian Black history, Afro-Canadian Caribbean culture and diversity changes happening in Simcoe County. A steel pan performance will follow, with an opportunity for young audiences to try the steel pan for themselves, as well as make a working version in a fun hands-on workshop.
This event is meant to give background on the beginnings of Caribbean culture to Ontario, provide a sense of the struggles and show how we can all be allies in welcoming diverse cultures in our communities. This event is organized by Making Change and sponsored by the MacLaren Art Centre and the City of Barrie.
