The Black German Heritage and Research Association (BGHRA) is collaborating with the Department of Germanic Languages & Literatures and the Cinema Studies Institute at the University of Toronto in hosting this 3-day SSHRC-funded conference, to foster international engagement with the social and cultural history of Black Germans.

The event will feature:
- keynote addresses by Fatima El-Tayeb and Noah Sow
- a screening of “On Second Glance” (dir. Sheri Hagen, 2012) at TIFF’s Bell Lightbox with filmmaker in attendance
- a dance-music-word tribute to Afro-German poet and activist May Ayim by guest artists Layla Zami and Oxana Chi

All presentations and cultural events sponsored by this conference are open to the public.
