Roundtable Series on Anti-Black Racism in the Saskatchewan's Music Industry
The Breaking Down Racial Barriers (BDRB) initiative is facilitating a roundtable panel discussion on anti-Black racism in Saskatchewan’s music and entertainment industry. This Roundtable is presented by SaskMusic and supported by BreakOut West and The Canadian Independent Music Association (CIMA) and ADVANCE, Canada’s new Black Music Business Collective, with additional support from FACTOR.
Initiated, curated and coordinated by Canadian music and entertainment community mainstays Ian Andre Espinet and David “Click” Cox, BDRB discussions are centred in the voices and lived experiences of working Black music professionals. To build an inclusive, economically viable Canadian music and entertainment industry, it is critical to address the anti-Black racism that exists in the systems and working environments within which Black music professionals and creatives operate.
Monday August 28th, 2023
Featuring the following participants:
- KYRIEL (PIMPTON) ROBERTS, Artist & Video Director
- PRINCE BANKS, Artist/Manager/Producer
- FIYINFOLUWA OBAYAN, Artist
- ZOCHI, Artist (IG)
In an effort to advance equity in the region's music industry, SaskMusic has supported the BDRB facilitated event to have difficult, yet critical, conversations in an effort to identify the structures and behaviours that perpetuate anti-Black racism.
The Roundtable will address key areas of the entertainment industry and barriers faced by Black music professionals - with highlighted themes and key take-aways captured.
