DESCRIPTION:Architecture in the Clouds - SSAC 46th Annual Conference\n\nThe
  challenge of creating a home in a place that is set on your destruction i
 s one that has plagued the experiences of many African descendants living 
 in the Diaspora for centuries. This is a challenge that African American m
 igrants continued to face even after moving to the so-called ‘promised lan
 d’ now known as Canada. Despite continuing to be met with the very racism 
 they were fleeing from in the US\, these freed Black men and women built m
 ultiple settlements across the country. Through the physical act of buildi
 ng Black settlements\, they negotiated their identities as Africans\, thei
 r ex-enslaved identities as property\, and their futuristic identities as 
 freedwomen and men. This very complex negotiation and its manifestation th
 rough architectural space will form the basis of this discussion.\n\nOrgan
 ized as part of the Society for the Study of Architecture in Canada's 2021
  Annual Conference under the theme “Architecture in the Clouds\,” this rou
 ndtable discussion will center on the past\, present\, and future of Black
  architectures and spaces in Canada. Some questions this conversation will
  attempt to engage are: how did the lived experiences of Black migrants in
 form the architectural designs of their settlements? What are the conseque
 nces of the subsequent destruction of these Black communities? How can we 
 preserve these important buildings and the histories they reveal?\n\nOvera
 ll\, this discussion aims to bring into focus a previously ignored dimensi
 on of architectural inquiry\, and move the architectural contributions of 
 Black Canadians to the foreground to create a platform from which new Blac
 k architectures can be created.\n\nSession chair: Destiny Kirumira\n\nPane
 lists:\n\nDorothy Williams\n	Cheryl Foggo\n	Sabrina Jafralie\n	June Francis\n
