The Community Edition

Glodeane Brown brings her magic to the KW arts and culture scene as the general manager of Contemporary Art Forum Kitchener and Area (CAFKA), a blogger (Culture Fancier), lifestyle ambassador and diplomat for everything cool and creative around town. Brown reviews what's problematic about the scene here, and what we need to change to allow artists to create freely. Sam Toman Nick Stanley

This month the Community Edition investigated one of the most relevant issues in our community, WRPS’ statistics on the use of excessive force. We spoke to Black community leaders Selam Debs and NDP MPP Laura Mae Lindo about the findings. Amelia Mola-Schmidt Melissa Embury
