Centering Black Youth as Cultural Producers, Knowledge Creators, and Architects of Popular Culture
The Black Culture/Popular Culture Youth Conference brings together two days of activities on March 6th and 7th, 2026, designed and curated to celebrate Black youth voices in the Greater Toronto Area. Through art, digital storytelling, game design, and creative expression, Black youth share how they navigate digital worlds, build community, and imagine liberatory futures. Alongside artists, educators, and researchers, we will explore how popular culture shapes identity, education, and resistance.
The Marketplace on March 6th is open to ALL and encourages members of the community to join us in celebrating Black youth creativity and entrepreneurship.
The Symposium on March 7th will host 70+ Black high school students @ TMU to engage in a series of creative workshops and panels on digital spaces, mental health and generative AI.
