Honouring Black Presence at Concordia University

The new public art program, Honouring Black Presence at Concordia, is a long-term intiative to celebrate the histories, presence, and futures of Black Concordians through the creation of ephemeral public artworks.

The inaugural artwork will be on public display for approximately three years. There will be a total of 4 cycles of three years and each cycle will showcase the work of a different artist/group of artists.

Territorial acknowledgement

Concordia University is located on unceded Indigenous lands. The Kanien’kehá:ka Nation is recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters on which we gather today. Tiohtià:ke/Montreal is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. Today, it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other peoples. We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Montreal community.
