 ALMEDA: Up to the Sky Exhibition  
   
**February 1 to 9, 2023**  
**Great Hall, Level 2, 100 McCaul Street**  
**Opening Reception: February 1, 7 pm**  
   
This exhibition features artwork from the perspective/experiences of the Black student body at OCAD University. With strong influence from the “Black is Beautiful” movement of the 80s; our exhibition focuses on the beauty of individual truths. Our truth is what we say to ourselves when our social mask is off. How does the world perceive our physical attributes such as hair, culture and how do we internalize those experiences?
