Kayanou gathers the stories and archives of Black Francophone communities, organizes the Salon interculturel du livre de l’Alberta and builds an app for young people.
The history of Black Francophone elders, artists, writers and families in Alberta is at risk of being lost. Kayanou gathers it, then brings it to students and to the public.
Interviews, oral histories, images and archives: the project gathers, with communities, a history that remains insufficiently documented, in collaboration with the Société historique francophone de l’Alberta.
