Prismatic Arts Festival presents Harmonies & Hues, an event featuring presentations by Erasure Art Collective, Ibe Ananaba, and Mumu Fresh.

Erasure Art Collective is an interdisciplinary arts group committed to researching and reinterpreting archival texts using visual, poetic, and performative erasure. Founded in 2022 by Shauntay Grant and Tyshan Wright, the collective’s inaugural project—called BLACKOUT—reimagines slave ads using ‘erasure’, or ‘blackout’, a form of poetry created by erasing words from an existing text to create a visual poem. Presenting the art of erasure poetry in non-traditional form, this presentation of BLACKOUT combines poetry with visual art, short film, and live performance collaboration with African Nova Scotian musicians.
