Artists as Changemakers: Watch Online
On November 25, 2024, Calgary Arts Development hosted a town hall focused on Artists as Changemakers — making change through art while embedded in the community. This session explored what’s working, what isn’t, and current grappling with trying to make the world a more equitable place.
Hosted by Toyin Oladele, an award-winning artist, arts manager and leader with nearly two decades of curation and community engagement experience, this discussion featured guest speakers Kelaena Maude of the Trico Changemakers Studio and photographer/artist Samuel Obadero.

This was part of our free online 2024 Equity Town Hall series focusing on the theme Live Action Heroes. Conversations were led by EDIA heroes who are doing the do — local artist/activists imagining and activating change.
