In the last couple of years, there has been a push by artists and activists to have Emancipation Day -- the day that Slavery was abolished through the British Empire in 1843 -- recognized as an official holiday. To celebrate International Day of Peace, Welcome Collective is collaborating with POP Montreal and Emancipation Arts to shine a light on this effort by hosting an online panel to discuss the importance of Emancipation and Peace, as well as ask artists and activists what emancipation means for them, how they are fighting for it and embodying it through their art and their activism, and how we can all embody these values in our own lives.
