BLACK DIAMOND DUST
Black Diamond Dust is a multi-site art exhibition, which considers the sedimentary nature of stories and histories. The title Black Diamond Dust
refers to the coal mining industry that Nanaimo was built upon; an
industry that both formed and fragmented communities through economic
development, racial segregation and labour inequity, and served as the
foundation of global industrialization.
