Collectively, their work includes photography, painting, textiles, and Virtual Reality (VR).

Pat Dillon-Moore, executive director and curator of the JAMS Arts Centre says the exhibition will show the long history of black people in Quebec.  The show will stay at JAMS Arts till February 10 and will move to the Little Burgundy quarter in the UNIA Hall from February 11 to 14.
