oronto representative
toronto representativeAs always Yves Delima is the instigator of amazing cultural and artistic projects; and it was with delight that I agreed to be part of this initiative to create the MACA museum, totally dedicated to Afro art, with the mandate to promote African and Caribbean artists.
These artists rarely have the spotlight they deserve... So contributing to the success of this venture is something that is very dear to my heart.
As a board member, I not only bring my arts management expertise (in dance, as cofounder of EKSPRESYON; in multidisciplinary and intercultural arts, as former executive and artistic director of MAI (Montreal, arts interculturels); and in theatre, as the actual Managing Director of THEATRE PASSE MURAILLE in Toronto); but my passion for the arts and my enthusiasm!
