What an incredible time building, sharing and talking about this show. It's hard to believe we've come to the end!

Special thank you again to my mentor Pamela Edmonds, Elyse Clinning for holding down communications and the entire McMaster Museum of Art staff for your unyielding support.
Many big thanks to Angelo Grant and the entire Pitch Magazine crew for holding it down and creating a classic publication! Can't wait for issue 3!
Big thanks also to Nia Centre for the Arts for your help in facilitating the amazing online programming for the launch!
To my advisory council; Betty Julian, Letticia Cosbert Miller and Quentin VerCetty - thank you for *invaluable* assistance and support during my research and writing phase!
And of course, to each of the artists; Ghislan, Anna, Sonya, Emkay, Yemi, Kofi, FEZA and SPATIAL-ESK - I'm still at a loss for words to describe how fulfilling, rewarding and nourishing it has been working alongside you all, honouring your work as best as I could.
