Reclaiming the Narrative

Springboard Performance

Dates: February 4, 2025
Time: Doors open 6:30pm, artist talk 7pm
Location: Residence Inn by Marriott (Calgary Downtown/Beltline) | Harvest Cafe Space
Cost: Entrance is free with registration

The discussion will feature renowned local and national Black artists in recognition of Black History month and in celebration of the impact black artists make on our communities year-round. In partnership with the Marriott Hotel, Springboard Performance and the YMCA is thrilled to host artists Syreeta Hector, Sabrina Naz and Wakefield Brewster in this significant conversation.

During the evening these featured artists will come together to generously share their experiences as black artists in Canada and to discuss how art can examine, impact and redefine culture. All three featured Canadians offer their art in service of necessary and meaningful dialogue about race, culture and identity and about the meaning of art itself.

The evening will also feature a potent duet performed by Sabrina Naz and Wakefield Brewster and Syreeta Hector’s dance-theatre work Black Ballerina will be presented in subsequent evenings (February 6 – 9, 2025) throughout the city in partnership with the YMCA.

We have limited capacity so reserve your seat early by registering, visit Reclaiming the Narrative: Artist Talk.
