Black spaces are more than places—they are where culture, power, and possibility take shape.Registration is now open for the Black Spaces Symposium & Summit 2026, presented by Afro Van Connect Society and Black Space Media Inc.
This October, we’re bringing together artists, community leaders, policymakers, advocates, cultural workers, creatives, and community members for two gatherings dedicated to conversation, connection, learning, and collective action.
📍 OCTOBER 2 | VCT ANNEX | 5:30 PM–9:00 PM
Join us for two powerful panel conversations exploring Black creativity, access, civic engagement, political participation, policy, leadership, and community power, including:
Beyond Representation: Building Black Power, Policy & Community Futures
How do we move beyond simply having a seat at the table toward having the power to shape the table, influence policy, build institutions, and create lasting change?
📍 OCTOBER 17 | THE CULTCH – CULTURE LAB | 1:00 PM–4:00 PM
Our second gathering turns toward Black history, cultural memory, placemaking, spatial justice, and the future of Black cultural and community spaces.
The Black Spaces Symposium & Summit is about bringing people together to exchange ideas, build relationships, and imagine what becomes possible when our communities have the space, resources, knowledge, and collective power to shape our own futures.
✨ Registration is open now. Come be part of the conversation.
