As Black History/African Heritage Month in North America kicks off, the team at DAYO Media & Communications is excited to share news from their very own managing director, Dayo Kefentse, an alumna of the University of the West Indies.
This month, the City of Mississauga will premier a special exhibition, Generation X Marks the Spot, curated by Dayo Kefentse.
This exhibition features an audio documentary that looks back at the late 1980s and reveals how young activists with the Black Action Defense Committee (BADC) sparked change after the shooting involving a Black teen in Mississauga, Ontario. It also features an interview with Ingrid Pellew-Berkeley, a former Deputy Chief with Peel Regional Police, about how Michael Wade Lawson’s shooting changed policing in the city.
Generation X Marks the Spot will officially launch with an opening event on Thursday, February 8, 2024.
More on this project can be found at DM&C - GenXExhibit.
