Description

The Gahu Project is a racial justice community music initiative that brought together local youth, professional artists and arts organizations to explore racial justice and discover the music of Ghana and engage in participatory music making through a presentation of Gahu.
The project involved collaborators including the Centre for Sound Music Education, the Waterloo Region District School Board, the African Community Wellness Initiative and the Faculty of Music at Wilfrid Laurier University. Additional community partners include the KW Multicultural Centre and the City of Kitchener.
The project used participatory music from Ghana as the catalyst to engage the broader regional community in a discussion around the intersection of racial justice and music education.
Leading up to the main project weekend, professional artists delivered music workshops in local high schools and key leaders within the ACBI (African, Caribbean, Black Identifying) community, who crafted the curriculum around the intersection of racial justice as a part of workshops in partnership with the WRDSB.
