Elevating Black Canadian representation in public art and digital innovation
Get Black creatives to be more visible by making art accessible with focused goals and strategic solutions - through public art projections, exhibitions and curations and Web 3 ventures such as NFTs.
EMBARK ON A JOURNEY. AstroSankofa Arts Initiatives is a federally incorporated not-for-profit organization and artist collective that engages the Afrofuturistic themes of sankofanology and solarpunk in community art interventions such as public art installation and murals as well as web 3 activities. Working across Canada and internationally, AstroSankofa supports professional and emerging Black artists providing them with mentorship, transferable skills and career building opportunities through collaborations and a series of programs.
