Born in Africville\, she moved to Montreal in 1898\, where she took painting lessons\, according to members of her family. She showed an exceptional talent at a young age. In 1914 she married William Henry Brown\, after relocating back to the Brown family homestead. Despite her talent she did not pursue a career as an artist or exhibit publicly\, sharing her works only with her family. The few surviving paintings by MacDonald-Brown count among the earliest examples of fine art produced by an African Canadian woman in Canada.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nAbout the Curator\nDavid Woods is a self-taught artist\, curator\, playwright and poet from Dartmouth NS who has been a forefront of the Black Nova Scotian arts scene for over four decades.

Curated by founder Michael McGuire this exhibition will showcase a selection of digital and physical items from an archive of over 2100 recordings\, 400 posters\, and 9 hours of video\, along with 850 CDs\, 165 cassettes\, and 280 vinyl records. This exhibition aims to celebrate and preserve the often overlooked hip hop legacy of Atlantic Canada and honour the individuals who have contributed to its vibrancy. \nAs an ongoing project\, the East of East Archive is dedicated to collecting and documenting materials related to Atlantic Canadian hip hop. The exhibition\, designed to be an interactive experience\, will highlight the archive’s commitment to supporting and inspiring new projects within the hip hop community. Visitors will not only view but have the opportunity to engage with and contribute to the history of hip hop in the region and experience the breadth of cultural expression within Atlantic Canadian hip hop. \nFor more information on the East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive visit their website.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nAudio Companion\n[/vc_column_text]\n    \n            \n                  \n			Introduction\n			East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n			ALL CATEGORIES\n			\n			\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/01-Introduction.mp3\n			\n		\n			Main Show Description\n			East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n			ALL CATEGORIES\n			\n			\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/02-Main-Show-Description.mp3\n			\n		\n			Audio Dome 01\n			East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n			ALL CATEGORIES\n			\n			\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/03-Audio-Dome-01.mp3\n			\n		\n			Audio Dome 02\n			East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n			ALL CATEGORIES\n			\n			\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/04-Audio-Dome-02.mp3\n			\n		\n			Timeline\n			East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n			ALL CATEGORIES\n			\n			\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/05-Timeline.mp3\n			\n		\n			Vitrine - Alternate Formats\n			East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n			\n			\n			\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/07-Vitrine-02-Formats.mp3\n			\n		\n			Vitrine - Tapes\n			East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n			ALL CATEGORIES\n			\n			\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/06-Vitrine-01-Tapes.mp3\n			\n		\n			Vitrine -Unique Voices\n			East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n			\n			\n			\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/08-Vitrine-03-Unique-Voices.mp3\n			\n		\n			Playlist - Women of Atl Cdn Rap\n			East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n			\n			\n			\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/09-Playlist-Women-of-Atl-Cdn-Rap.mp3\n			\n		\n			Playlist - Hermit's Picks\n			East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n			\n			\n			\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/10-Playlist-Hermits-Picks.mp3\n			\n		\n			Posters\n			East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n			\n			\n			\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/11-Posters.mp3\n			\n		\n			Albums (Scrolling)\n			East of East Atlantic Hip Hop Archive\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/East-of-East-Image-01-resize-web-e1721408678840-1024x553.jpg\n			\n			\n			\n			https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/12-Albums-Scrolling.mp3\n			\n		\n              No HTML5 audio playback capabilities for this browser.

Inspired by the hip hop tapes he discovered as a child\, he started rapping and performing spoken word as ‘Hermitofthewoods’. In the years that followed\, he began facilitating workshops and giving talks on the culture and production of hip hop\, with a particular focus on the local scene in Halifax. Leaning into the academic world\, a Master’s thesis on the history of hip hop in Halifax soon followed\, along with an opportunity to teach at Mount Saint Vincent University\, which\, in turn\, led to pursuing a doctorate in critical hip hop pedagogy. In 2017\, he established the ‘East of East Atlantic Canadian Hip Hop’ to preserve the cultural legacy of the region’s hip hop artists and as a platform for future academic research and study.  He lives in Timberlea\, Nova Scotia with an adorable beagle named Goose.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Campbell\, Still Tho is an ode to the visual artists in Canada who shaped hip hop culture and its visual aesthetics. In this group exhibition featuring artists from across Canada\, an array of mix-media works explores the growth\, influence and importance of graffiti art and its aesthetic legacies. \nThe phrase “Still Tho” in the exhibition’s title refers to a common expression in hip-hop culture that speaks to these artists’ perseverance\, their overcoming numerous barriers to make art and build community. Moreover\, the exhibition highlights the lasting impact of hip hop’s visual art on both Canadian culture and visual aesthetics in our digital age. \nFeature image: Still from “Moments of Movement\, Freestyle Dance Video Series #104 – Tafiya”\, Mark Valino\, 2022.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nOpening Reception\nAll are welcome to a celebratory reception for MSVU Art Gallery’s Fall exhibitions\, ‘Still Tho\,’ curated by Mark V.

Each artist reflected on this expression in their contribution to the design. \nKalkidan Assefa (Dripping Soul) chose to honour the pioneers of East Coast/Atlantic hip hop\, focusing on Black Nova Scotian communities. Areas like Uniacke Square—where some Africville residents were relocated—were among the first in the region to embrace hip hop’s underlying themes of social and economic disenfranchisement. Assefa highlighted the emcee\, one of hip hop’s four elements\, as the voice that connected these communities with others who shared similar experiences. \nMique Michelle pays homage to the women of hip hop who are often overlooked as contributors to the culture\, collaborators\, or solo artists. Too often\, they are seen as “assistants.” Inspired by Atlantic Canada’s heavy-hitting women emcees\, the globally trailblazing women of hip hop\, and their stories\, Mique Michelle created three characters who are a mashup of past\, present\, and future Femme presence. Mique Michelle adds\, “Let’s not forget to write ourselves into the future while respecting those who created the foundation.”  She invites viewers to take a closer at the mural to find a dozen local easter eggs scattered throughout. \nGhettosocks believes that the founders of hip hop (like DJ Kool Herc) intended to bring people together by celebrating life and culture through their music. This essence permeates the wall and will hold it down until the next iteration inevitably seizes its place. \n“Painting this mural with Mique and Kal has been a beautiful experience. Collaboration is one of the many incredible aspects of hip hop\, and I feel privileged to be included amongst such a pair of immense talent.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
