Brampton’s Rose Theater is hosting a free live-streamed performance on Tuesday from a local poet to celebrate Black History Month.
On Feb. 15, born and raised Brampton artist Desiree McKenzie will share new poems and stories of her growth into adulthood, identity, mental health and her reflections on the world as a person of colour.
The performance will be live streamed for free on the Rose Theatre’s Vimeo page and is a partnership with Accida Brampton, the city’s Arts, Culture & Creative Industry Development Agency (ACCIDA).
The show runs on Tuesday between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., and you can watch the live stream here.
McKenzie’s performance is part of a series of Tuesday night events at the Rose streaming throughout February.
The City of Brampton is honouring Black History Month with even more events, including the Black Artists Live Here Digital Exhibition.
The showcase at Garden Square is presented by ACCIDA and runs until May featuring a PIXEL digital screen exhibition on the 24′ LED screen highlighting the work of eight local artists, creatives and collectives.
