Quilt of Hope
VANCOUVER ARTISTS FOR BLACK LIBERATION
Quilt of Hope serves as a call to action, and a renewal of our commitment to positively impact the communities we create in. This publication asks artists to consider their role in the movement, and what art expression has to teach us about radical activism. A collection of voices, the Quilt of Hope shares the perspectives of 25 practicing artists across the Lower Mainland who have responded to the question, “What is the role of artists in dismantling anti-Black racism?”
