Roots & Radience brings together powerful stories of heritage and the brilliance of contemporary Black creativity. This unique collection showcases 33 remarkable artworks from Edmonton’s most talented Black artists, including Macha Abdallah, Ola Bolarinwa, Latifat Busari, Raphael Victor Ezeano, AJA Louden, Diana Ohiozebau, and Merlin Uwalaka.
Interwoven through its 350 high-quality pages, the book reflects the essence of both roots and radiance—two forces that together create something truly extraordinary. The remaining blank pages offer the perfect space for your own creative expression, whether through sketching, journaling, or simply reflecting on the work of the artists.
