Meet the Artists: Truth Seeker x Spring Promises Futures

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 exceptional artists who identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Colour in Canada and the U.S. were paired and funded to create 13 new, interdisciplinary, collaborative art. To celebrate these unique works, we invite you to join us for 7 virtual events in July and August during which the artists will discuss their experiences and creative processes while working across distances, time and disciplines. This event will be moderated by Nick Green, with remarks by Canada’s Consul General in Minneapolis, Ariel Delouya, and Canada’s Consul General in Miami, Susan Harper, and will feature artist pairs:
