This article examines the curatorial practices of two important Black Canadian women curators—Gaëtane Verna, Director of The Power Plant, and independent curator Andrea Fatona. The author argues that inter- sectional Black feminist perspectives inform the ways in which they navigate issues of social inclusion through their curatorial selection, interpretation, and discussion of artworks by artists from diverse cultural communities.
