Carefully curated playlists of local Black artists now on Spotify
The Reach Gallery Museum has partnered with former UFV club Black Connections and UFV campus radio station CIVL to present TURN IT UP, a celebration of Afro music here in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland. In celebration of Black History Month, The Reach’s Spotify will release a playlist in February, March, and April, each curated by a different Afro music enthusiast to showcase local Black artists.
Milca Tshimpaka, a UFV alum, and Jerusalem Amosha were the representatives from Black Connections who thoughtfully selected the curators for each playlist. Through meeting with curators at The Reach, the collaborative team came up with ideas on how they could create inclusive art that would reflect the Black community at the gallery.
