Manitoba Music X WAG-Qaumajuq are celebrating Black music makers with a series of free concerts and mixers in the iconic gallery space.

November 21 performances by Adiyo, DXXN, DJ Saint! The intimate setting allows the artists to express themselves through stripped-down, visceral performances that address identity and community, and celebrate the African Diaspora.
