Through a national survey, focus groups and interviews, we aim to develop a research study and research publication that summarizes our findings, and provides recommendations towards safer engagement and increased digital literacy to combat the impacts of anti-Blackness experienced by Black-Canadians online, while also developing recommendations on how online, social environments can better support their Black-Canadian users, and community members as a whole.

Nia Centre for the Arts is a Toronto-based charitable organization that supports, showcases and promotes an appreciation of arts from across the Afro-Diaspora. We present professional development programs for artists, engagement and mentorship programs and opportunities for youth, and present special events and exhibitions to our community, and Canadians as a whole.
In October 2020, we began renovations on our 14,000 sq. ft. facility in Toronto, Ontario to build Canada’s first multidisciplinary Black arts centre. This new space will help bring our entire community together to experience art rooted in Afro-diasporic traditions. Once renovated, our facility at 524 Oakwood Avenue will feature a 150-seat multi-purpose performance space, an event space, a digital media studio, an artist studio, youth space, gallery space, and more.
