The Black Speculative Arts Movement is launched by Quentin VerCetty and Kareen Weir, who coordinated and directed the first international BSAM event at OCAD University (BSAM Toronto) in 2016. Black Speculative Art is a creative aesthetic practice that integrates African diasporic, metaphysics, science, and technology. The movement seeks to interpret, engage, design or alter reality for the re-imagination of the past, the contested present, and act as a catalyst for the future.
