We invite you to join us on Wednesday April 5, 2023 for our annual Desmarais Family Summit.
For centuries Black people all over the world have used visual art, literature, performance, theatre, music and other means of expression to imagine and advocate for freedom in their public and private lives. Started by Dr. Naila Keleta-Mae in 2017, Black And Free is an artistic and academic experience that deepens, enlivens and expresses themes of blackness and freedom projecting expansive visions of what that could be for engaged, curious and casual members of the public.
The Faculty of Arts is honoured to be home to AMTD postdoctoral scholars, Dr. Jenna Gilchrist and Dr. Reuben Martens.
WomeninPreLaw UW is a student club at the University of Waterloo with over 200+ general members from over 25+ different programs. The club aims to empower and educate students about inspirational women in law, with a focus on legal careers, networking, and filling the gap on campus by providing a legal space for students from all programs and backgrounds who are interested in law.
Dr. Naila Keleta-Mae’s Black And Free research-creation project features Ontario-based Black artists Beck Deresse, Ken Daley, Miss Coco Murray, Simone Patricia, Suritah Wignall, and Tafui at THEMUSEUM in Kitchener during February and March. The artists have been commissioned to create original work in the medium of their choice on the topic of blackness and freedom.

As students we constantly ask ourselves; how can we do our part to make positive changes for the world at large? Must we sacrifice having a fulfilling career to satisfy our pocketbook? The good news is it doesn’t have to be this way. Join us and meet Arts Alumni that have found success in the corporate world while making changes to pressing social challenges.
