Archive Room - Level 2

This space allows the Wildseed Centre to document, preserve, and exhibit critical historic works and artefacts created by Black artists, organizers and communities across Turtle Island. While it is still in development, our staff are eagerly consulting with progressive archival centres across these lands and internationally, to develop procedures related to acquisition, maintenance, cataloguing, and scope.

Once open, booking time to access our archives will be free of charge.
