Making Space: In Conversation with Cheryl Foggo and Simone Elizabeth Saunders

How do we honour the historic contributions of Black Calgarians as the city grows?

Making Space is an evening of dialogue, art, history and music with Cheryl Foggo and Simone Elizabeth Saunders for the unveiling of Making Place: A Map of Black Calgary, part of the Calgary Atlas Project.

Cheryl Foggo is a playwright, author and filmmaker telling stories of Western Canadians of African descent. Simone Elizabeth Saunders is an award-winning artist celebrating Black womanhood and resilience.

Presented in partnership with the Calgary Institute for the Humanities at the University of Calgary. Maps are available online and can be purchased during and after the event.
