THE INITIATIVE

Visibility Wall is one of TABB’s 2026 initiatives in partnership with the Resource Centre for the Arts. It is a permanent, rotating curated exhibition platform embedded within the programming of LSPU Hall, one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s most recognized cultural institutions.

Newfoundland’s arts sector has not lacked one-time moments of inclusion for Black and racialized artists. What has been absent is structural, sustained access to legacy institutional spaces. This is something TABB is committed to building. Visibility Wall addresses this directly: not by creating a separate Black space, but by embedding Black and racialized artistic voices into the ongoing life of an existing, well established Newfoundland institution.

The initiative launched publicly on January 30, 2026 with the works of local Black Artist, Hadiza Bello.Together, TABB and RCA co-designed a framework that ensures Black artists can have their work reach audiences who may never have encountered Black NL art before.

Visibility Wall introduces a replicable model for partnership-driven inclusion, one that other institutions seeking to diversify programming in a sustained and meaningful way can adopt. It is both a platform and a proof of concept.
