Hello everyone! In today's episode, we talk to the amazing Dr. Seika Boye from the University of Toronto about her exhibit. It's About Time: Dancing Black in Canada 1900-1970 and Now and the research and collaboration processes she had while curating the exhibition. In it, we also talk about how the shift to online creates a whole new problem for archivists and how having the exhibition online has changed the experience. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
