THE HONORARY
PRESENCE OF EMILIE JABOUIN ON FEB 24

PLEASE WELCOME

MEET EMILIE,
she loves this region.

So much so that she plans to invest here when she completes her dissertation for her PhD (which she is defending right now).

I co-created a solo performance about Black North American history and the efforts of Mary Ann Shadd Cary,a nineteenth-century anti-slavery activist, teacher, intellectual who published the Provincial Freeman (1854-1857) in present-day Ontario. - Emilie Jabouin

During the Cultural Pluralism in the Arts conference 2020, I shared ideas on how to locate Black people in Canada’s historical art scene in the archives. - Emilie Jabouin
