Archives of (Actual) Black Technofossils Across Canada

"This research began at OCAD University in 2011 to try to find a monument / technofossil of people of African descent in Toronto. To my surprise at the time there were none. So I began to look up other major cities in Canada and was surprised to know how few there were. I couldn't help but feel like the existence of Black Canadians and their stories were being devalued and erased." - Quentin VerCetty

​

As of 2020, I have only been able to find 15 sculptural monument sites and out of those 15 monuments only 5 of them were made by a Black person and only 2 of them are Canadian.   

 

As of  2021 I will be creating the 16th monument and the first permanent Black technofossil in Toronto of Joshua Glover.
