New Routes: threads across space and time reflects Raneece Buddan, AJA Louden, Garfield Morgan, and Elsa Robinson’s investigations of how their paths as diasporic people connect their distinct artistic practices. The four artists share certain relationships to place: they all have Jamaican heritage and lived in Edmonton at the same time. Yet each of them has distinct personal and ancestral immigration stories that led to Treaty 6 territory.

Join us at Cafe Books for an exciting book signing of 'Songs From This and That Country' by Gail Sidonie-Sobat 12-4pm on Saturday 1st November.
