Featured in the SAW Project Room, the exhibition Crépu: Our DNA Extended is a multi-venue initiative that extends the visual art component of the third edition of Crépu: Our DNA, a multidisciplinary celebration and exploration of the cultural significance of Black hair, held on February 1 and 2, 2025, at the Canada Science and Technology Museum. Curated by Ottawa-based Sandra Ngenge Dusabe, this citywide project presents three exhibitions and a film screening, inviting audiences to engage with Black Canadian art throughout Black History Month and beyond at venues across Ottawa, including SAW, the Carleton University Art Gallery, SPAO: Photographic Arts Centre and the Digital Arts Resource Centre.
