Wildseed Centre

Wildseed Centre for Art & Activism is a vessel that seeks to nurture Black creativity and experimentation. Inspired by Octavia Butler’s evocative novel, the Centre was birthed by Black Lives Matter artivists who hope to build an enduring space that could cultivate the most transformative and radical ideas.

Wildseed Centre is a multipurpose community space that serves to nurture radical Black experimentation and creation. In addition to housing the office space for its own operations and Black Lives Matter–Canada, Wildseed Centre is a site of activity to support Black radical organizing and artistry. It was birthed through a recognition that there is a need for enduring space to cultivate creative experiments led by Toronto’s diverse Black communities. It is a transfeminist, queer affirming space politically aligned with supporting Black liberation work across Canada.
