Quentin VerCetty Lindsay is an award-winning multidisciplinary visual griot (storyteller), arts educator and an ever-growing interstellar plant. Starting his artistic journey through the Remix Project, creative arts program for youth in 2009 and in 2016 completed a Bachelors in fine arts at OCAD University. From the genesis VerCetty had sights on sharing his artistry beyond his own city and has exhibited and conduct workshops internationally on every inhabited continent on Earth. Inspired by his space travels and establishing conceptual connections of human relations, artistically VerCetty addresses the lack of monuments in Canada of people of Africa descent and how that create a psychological disconnect in society. He connects this notion to Afrofuturism by looking at Monuments as technofossil that preserves ideas and stories from the past for the future.

Beyond document the existence of extraterrestrials, currently scholarly Quentin is working to establish Afrofuturism as a tool for art pedagogy through a master’s in Art Education at Concordia University. VerCetty is responsible for coining the terms Sankofanology and Rastafuturism and is one of the founders of the Black Speculative Arts Movement, a global platform for artists that pushes the imagination.

In 2019 VerCetty co-edited the first Canadian Afrofuturism art anthology entitled Cosmic Underground Northside: An Incantation of Black Canadian Speculative Discourse and Innerstandings. A book that highlights works from over 100 Black Canadian artists, bringing awareness and documenting the growing contemporary art movement of Afrofuturism in Canada and is working on two more books.

Currently VerCetty has a project entitled "Recasting DaCosta Initiative", hoping to get the first Afrofuturism monument depicting a science fiction inspired concept of the first documented free African in Canada - the translator for the French and the indigenous people the multilingual explorer, Mathieu Da Costa of 1506.
