PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
In February, Jimmy Baptiste’s Onah is featured on the National Arts Centre’s Kipnes Lantern, lighting up the downtown area. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the Afrofuturistic colours of the Haitian-Canadian artist’s work, which was specially commissioned by the NAC for Black History Month.
Best known as a graffiti and muralist artist, Jimmy Baptiste has also been working with youth for nearly 20 years on mural projects in Montréal, in Ottawa and elsewhere in Canada. The 43-year-old community engaged artist also travels once a year to First Nations communities to work with them on various art projects
