The ethos of community is at the heart of the collection from which this exhibition is drawn. Established by Dr. Kenneth Montague, the Wedge Collection is Canada’s largest privately owned collection committed to championing Black artists.

The texts in As We Rise are adapted from the book As We Rise: Photography from the Black Atlantic  (Aperture, 2021).
