It is with overflowing enthusiasm and immense pride that the very first Dynastie Week is announced, a unique event that will take place at Place des Arts. Under the inspiring theme “I Am Power – Je suis Power”, this week aims to highlight the richness, creativity, and passion of artisans from Black communities.

Television remains a powerful tool to reflect society and amplify the voices within it. In a Quebec where more than one million citizens come from cultural communities — representing over 13% of the population — the importance of a media outlet dedicated to them takes on its full meaning. This is precisely the mission undertaken by Natyf TV, a channel that aims to embody and highlight the richness of Quebec’s diversity.

Receiving hundreds of supportive messages on social media is a frequent reality for many artists and public figures. Yet, beyond the screen, there is an experience that resonates with a different intensity: direct contact with the community.

During a memorable address, Charles Bayetat, the first Black Senior Principal Director in Quebec at TD Bank and co-chair of the Black Employee Network and Allies, delivered a speech filled with pride and determination. His intervention took place during Semaine Dynastie, a flagship event that highlights changemakers and individuals working toward a more inclusive society.

In a vibrant and emotionally charged atmosphere, the annual ceremony honoring excellence in media celebrated the standout figures of the audiovisual, radio, and digital landscape.

In an artistic world where recognition often takes time to arrive, every nomination becomes tangible proof that hard work bears fruit. For Magdala, being in the running this year in the Artist and World Music Group category represents much more than an honorary distinction: it is confirmation that sacrifices and determination always end up being rewarded.

In a spirit of recognition and celebration of emerging talents on the Francophone cultural scene, Richardson Zéphir has been honored with a nomination at the seventh edition of the prestigious Gala Dynastie, in the Humor category. The announcement, made over the weekend, was met with enthusiasm by the artist, who did not hide his emotion upon receiving this distinction.

In a joint effort to preserve and highlight the often-overlooked stories of marginalized artistic communities, two Montreal organizations have joined forces to launch Nuit de Montréal, an interactive digital platform dedicated to the city’s cultural history.
