Afrocurrence

The Almeda Collective's (OCADU's Black student union) 2025 Black History Months Exhibition, curated by Wuliyah Hankey.

“Community often becomes a continuous current through spaces inhabited across the Black diaspora. We stand together in joy, in hardship, and in the everyday. For Almeda’s 2025 Black History Month exhibition we have called on our fellow Black student body at OCAD University to cultivate that temporary but perdurant connection. This we call Afrocurrence.Grown from a conversation about third places and influenced by Stefano Harney and Fred Moten's theory of the undercommons, Afroccurence becomes a space to reflect on Afro-diasporic connection. We ask how our community creates bonds, and finds home within systems that exist to control our bodies. The interiority of Black warmth, sorrow, and closeness stretches across the expanse of the Black experience, expressed vastly by the artists shown within this exhibition. ”
