We ask, David Leonard, executive director of the Writers Trust Fund of Canada; Andrew Cash, president and CEO of CIMA; Marsha LEderman, arts journalist; and Tonya Williams, founder of the Reelworld film festival.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In den 1950ern kaufte sich das Ehepaar McMichael ein Haus mit großem Grundstück in Kleinburg, am nördlichen Stadtrand von Toronto. Hier lebten sie und sammelten Kunst: vor allem der "Group of Seven" – Kanadas Antwort auf die französischen Impressionisten oder deutsche Künstlergruppen wie "Der blaue Reiter" und "Die Brücke". Heute ist aus ihrer privaten Sammlung ein einzigartiges Museum geworden, das die beiden plazy-Gründerinnen Kathrin Sander und Inka Schmeling in dieser Episode vorstellen. Es zeigt ausschließlich Werke von kanadischen Künstler*innen. Allerdings längst nicht mehr nur aus dem frühen 20. Jahrhundert, sondern etwa auch Indigenous Art oder Kunst der Gegenwart. Star der Sammlung: Tom Thomson, der 1917 unter mysteriösen Umständen starb.
City Lights celebrates the publication of "Blessings," a novel by Chukwuebuka Ibeh, published by Doubleday. Purchase here: https://citylights.com/blessings/ Obiefuna has always been the black sheep of his family—sensitive where his father, Anozie, is pragmatic, a dancer where his brother, Ekene, is a natural athlete. But when Obiefuna's father witnesses an intimate moment between his teenage son and another boy, his deepest fears are confirmed, and Obiefuna is banished to boarding school. As he navigates his new school's strict hierarchy and unpredictable violence, Obiefuna both finds and hides who he truly is. Back home, his mother, Uzoamaka, must contend with the absence of her beloved son, her husband's cryptic reasons for sending him away, and the hard truths that they've all been hiding from. As Nigeria teeters on the brink of criminalizing same-sex relationships, Obiefuna's identity becomes more dangerous than ever before, and the life he wants drifts further out of reach. Set in post-military Nigeria and culminating in the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act of 2013, "Blessings" is an elegant and exquisitely moving story that asks how to live freely in a country that forbids one's truest self, and what it takes for love to flourish despite it all.

Are you thinking about starting an art therapy private practice? Do you struggle with getting clients? Have you tapped into the resources within your network and direct community? The great thing about private practice is that even though the process of building it is unique to you (with your preferences and niche), there are so many things that you can learn from your fellow clinicians. In this podcast episode, Tamara and I discuss a wide range of topics, from getting involved in the community to networking, the art therapy niche, and working ethically. MEET TAMARA Tamara was born and raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and went to Lakehead University graduating with a visual arts and education degree. Tamara enrolled in the Toronto Art Therapy Institute (TATI) in 2017 and graduated as a registered art therapist in 2019. She is a Registered Psychotherapist and runs her own practice in Thunder Bay. Learn more about Tamara on her Psychology Today profile and practice website. In this episode: Art therapy as a treatment modality Work ethically Locating your practice Experimenting with schedules Develop your networking skills Art therapy as a treatment modality Art therapy is a therapeutic process whereby people use artistic practices like painting or drawing to help clients process emotions, self-regulate, or access mental spaces that are soothing and gentle amidst trauma in the early stages of treatment. Art therapy can be used to treat first responders because this modality has been shown to reduce PSTD symptoms, and it can also be relatively non-verbal which is a plus for most first responders seeking therapy. Work ethically If you are working in a small town, or you are providing therapy for a niche of people that you once worked with, it is important that you get your ethics right to continue providing great therapy without harming yourself or your clients. If you aren't within a regulated province, you can still reach out to the CCPA for assistance. In another Fearless Practice Podcast episode with Lindsey, we discussed lobbying the government for regulation – if you are interested in this topic, give it a listen! Locating your practice For Tamara, she preferred to keep her practice space separate from her home. She wanted to have that physical distance to maintain a personal and relaxing space away from work. However, you can decide how you want to set up your Canadian private practice; online, in-person, at an office, or your home. You can set it up as best suits you and the needs of your clients! Even then, if you would prefer to work for another private practice instead of running your own, you can do that too! Experimenting with schedules If you work for yourself, you can create a schedule that fits both your needs and the needs of your clients, and that includes their schedules as well. When the seasons change, people's activities change as well. Every therapist knows the dips and rises of seeing clients. What would happen if you changed your schedule every few months to match the busyness of the season? That's what Tamara does, and it allows her to see clients regularly throughout the year. Develop your networking skills Use your contacts within the community! The managers at the gyms, the restaurants, the players at your sports center, the massage therapists, the landlords in business sectors, the receptionists at businesses. Speak to people, because it's one of the best things that you can do for your business.

Have you ever wondered what an art curator does – or what you might learn from one? If you have (or even if you haven't!) it turns out there are TONS of things thought leaders can learn from a professional curator, like: How to bring together multiple voices; for example, if you're putting together a conference line-up, or writing a book with multiple authors, or curating content for your blog. How to collaborate and co-create (and why it's worth doing) Why it's worth taking the time to enjoy consuming content, not just making your own. (Yes, this might just give you permission to watch reality TV!) How to build time for thinking and reflecting into your day How to get people to come out to your event or see your work How to make complex ideas accessible and understandable, without dumbing them down How to recognize and give due credit to the people who have influenced your work How to deal when you DON'T get the response you want from the thing you've made How to speak up about difficult subjects (and help other people do the same). … and so much more In this episode, I chat with Lillian O'Brien Davis — a curator and writer currently based in Toronto, ON. Lillian is the Curator of Exhibitions and Public Programs at Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography. She has curated projects at the Art Museum at the University of Toronto, Susan Hobbs Gallery, the MacKenzie Art Gallery, SUPPORT Gallery and the School of Art Gallery at the University of Manitoba. Her writing has appeared in RACAR, BlackFlash magazine, Canadian Art online, C magazine, the Brooklyn Rail, Peripheral Review and Insight Magazine. In this conversation we discover a great deal of cross-over between thought leadership and curation! Towards the end of the conversation, we also get vulnerable – we talk about the struggles of working behind-the-scenes, and what it was like for Lillian to publish an article that had the impact to alter the course of her career. There's a ton of stuff in this episode to help you think about storytelling in new ways. Listen now!

This episode of Unboxing the Canon introduces the topic of disability and the visual arts, looking at both historical and contemporary examples. We consider the near absence of visible disability in the history of Western art and discuss how some contemporary artists are representing disability in powerful ways. Beginning with Diego Velázquez's 1656 painting Las Meninas, this episode examines it and other historical works through the ideas of contemporary artist, writer and disability activist, Riva Lehrer. Then we turn towards the work of Persimmon Blackbridge, a Canadian artist whose work touches on disability, institutionalization, censorship, and queer identity. We demystify the artist-genius myth and end with a brief discussion about how curatorial choices can make art more accessible.

In this episode of The SpokenWeb Podcast, jamilah malika and Jessica Karuhanga sit down with producer Katherine McLeod to talk about the sounds and sound-based practices that have informed their projects as recipients of the 2020-2021 SpokenWeb Artist-Curator in Residence Award. For her residency, jamilah is building an online archive highlighting Black women sound artists across Canada to provide inspiration and representation for future sound art from Black femmes across Turtle Island. Jessica is creating “a sanctified Black space in the form of a website that celebrates aural, visual and somatic witnessing” through shared audio recordings of personal stories.jamilah and Jessica share two pieces of audio from past works that set the groundwork conceptually and methodologically for their current projects. As the producer of the series ShortCuts on The SpokenWeb Podcast feed, Katherine brings her approach of using an audio clip as the starting point for conversation. When talking with jamilah, they start by listening to the audio composition “Listen to Black Womxn” and, when talking with Jessica, they start by listening to the audio composition, “ALL OF ME.” In between these conversations, Katherine talks with SpokenWeb RA, poet, and spoken word artist Faith Paré about her work with jamilah and Jessica in listening to and searching through the SpokenWeb audio collections with their projects in mind. Questions of the archive and the archival impulse run throughout these conversations about the sound of sound art, archival recordings of voices speaking specifically as Black women and Black non-binary folks, the vocalic body in and as archive, and the agency of the listener. All of these questions start with talking, or, as jamilah says early on, “talking about talking.”SpokenWeb is a monthly podcast produced by the SpokenWeb team as part of distributing the audio collected from (and created using) Canadian Literary archival recordings found at universities across Canada.

As And She Looks Up hits the 50 episode milestone and a year of the podcast I take a look back at the roller coaster that was my first year of podcasting, what I've learned and what's coming up next!For a summary of this episode and all the links mentioned, please visit:Episode 50: Lessons From A Year of PodcastingFor a list of all available episodes, please visit:And She Looked Up Creative Hour PodcastAnd She Looked Up was born from belief that creating for a living takes a special kind of person: one part artist and one part businessperson. Some days the artist gets to be in charge, and some days, it’s the businessperson. And sometimes that can create tension! But tension can be a really good thing - from it comes new ideas, inspiration, and growth. When you run a creative business you need to keep your “inspiration well” full, your mind and body healthy and your business brain sharp. You also need friends and a community that understand what your days are like. That’s why And She Looked Up was created - to create a space for Canadian female artists, creatives and makers to come together and share our ideas and stories while growing our creative businesses! Your host Melissa Hartfiel is a designer, illustrator, writer, and photographer with a penchant for vibrant colour. She’s owns three businesses and has been a self-employed creative since 2010. She resides just outside of Vancouver, Canada.
While her subjects are varied, and her interests and approaches have evolved over the years, poet Penn Kemp has always understood the power of spoken word to evoke emotion, shift consciousness, and shape the world. Drawing on a syncretic blend of spiritual philosophy informed by Buddhist, Hindu, and Celtic wisdom traditions, Kemp's work is imminent and transcendent, embodied and cerebral. The words on the page produce certain effects, while the voices in the air produce others altogether.In conversation with SpokenWeb Researcher Nick Beauchesne, a clip from Kemp's performance of Trance Form at the University of Alberta (1977) is brought into conversation with more recent material from When the Heart Parts (2007) and Barbaric Cultural Practice (2017). The episode concludes with a live reading from Kemp's brand-new Pandemic Poems (2020). SpokenWeb is a monthly podcast produced by the SpokenWeb team as part of distributing the audio collected from (and created using) Canadian Literary archival recordings found at universities across Canada.

Nick has been a performance artist and vocalist for over 20 years, going by his magical name of Nix Nihil. His music is available at soundcloud.com/nixnihil.Penn Kemp has been giving creativity workshops, teaching and performing her poetry since 1966. A Canadian poet, performer and playwright Penn has been celebrated as a trailblazer since her first publication of poetry by Coach House (1972), a “poetic El Niño”, and a “one-woman literary industry”. Her latest poetry is River Revery (Insomniac, 2019) and forthcoming in 2020 is P.S., a collaboration of poems with Sharon Thesen (Kalamalka Press).Voices Heard:Penn Kemp, Nick Beauchesne, Nix Nihil, Ann Anglin, Bill Gilliam, John MagyarSpecial Thanks to Adam Whitaker-Wilson for technical assistance and recording resources.

Episode 7: Musing on Museums November 4, 2020. This episode, called “Musing on Museums,” takes a look at the history of the modern Western museum and considers what stories museums tell and how. From wunderkammern and other private collections to the British Museum and the Louvre, museums are intimately connected to power. Contemporary artists Fred Wilson, Spring Hurlbut, and James Luna reveal the hidden histories of collecting and collections and ask us to think about what is collected and how those collections are organized. By troubling organization systems, contemporary artists uncover new ways of finding meaning in museum collections.

This week's episode was created in partnership with Canadian Art as part of the Fall 2020 launch of the Chroma issue. We are joined by special guest Keira Boult (who is featured in the issue's Making Throughlines) to talk about her practice, the Black Curator's Forum Letter, Real Housewives of Potomac, and a conversation between Donald Glover and Michaela Cole.
Today I've got a great conversation to share with you featuring an artist you may recognize as The Printmaker and Her Dog, or for non-instagram people, her name is Kari Kristensen. Kari is a relief printmaker based in Vancouver, Canada where she pumps out iterations of her stylized landscape prints. Kari has a great presence on social media, and there's something really appealing about the type of work she does. It's simple, monochromatic, and presents a field of view that makes you want to jump in and get lost amidst the lines and dots she carefully renders. We get into topics around the origins and influences behind her landscapes, lots of Canada-related discussion, and we share some love for our favorite papers and relief printing methods. Speaking of relief printing, there are a couple priceless tips today in our Let's Get Technical segment, so hang in because you won't want to miss them.

Episode 5: Taken from the Headlines October 7, 2020 “Taken from the Headlines” considers European history painting, its roots and its legacies. What exactly are history paintings? And why are they significant in the canon of Western art? In this episode of “Unboxing the Canon” Dr. Steer examines these questions along with some historical examples before turning to the present moment to consider how artists use this genre today and reflect on some of its limitations. This episode covers the concept of istoria and Renaissance narrative paintings, dramatic 19th century history paintings in France and their relationship to politics, and contemporary Indigenous work dealing with the trauma of the residential school system in Canada.

In this episode we examine contemporary Cree artist Kent Monkman's diptych mistikôsiwak on view now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The monumental paintings were completed in 2019 and are called Welcoming the Newcomers and Resurgence of the People. In his words, Monkman aims to “reverse the gaze” from white settlers looking at Indigenous people to Indigenous people looking at settlers. Welcoming the Newcomers adapts figures and poses from a variety of works of art that depict the Indigenous people of Turtle Island from the point of view of white Europeans and settlers to present a different story and a different point of view about first contact. Resurgence of the People uses Emmanuel Leutze's 1851 Washington Crossing the Delaware as a source to picture contemporary immigration from Monkman's point of view.

In addition to being a go-to fortune teller for artists, Cindy Mochizuki is herself an artist based in Vancouver. Her work spans from animation to sculpture, incorporating themes of history and memory. Her short films have screened around the world. Every artist on this episode makes incredible work that you should check out. We have links on our website, canadalandshow.com/imp Abbas Akhavan works in installation, drawing, video and performance. That work of his in The Guggenheim is called "Study for a Monument." Amy Lam is one half of Life of a Craphead, who host a livestreamed performance night called Doored. They made the movie Bugs, "a satire about bug society and its most powerful family." Walter Scott is a multi-disciplinary artist and creator of the Wendy comic books. You can hear a full interview with him on The Imposter episode 10, "Happy Lucky Accident Stories." Sojourner Truth Parsons is a painter who has exhibited work around the continent. There's a great profile of her in Canadian Art, where you can see a lot of her paintings. Nadia Belerique makes installations and works with steel. Her website looks like a xeroxed zine. Music on this episode: That funky electronic track at the beginning of the show is "Sage" by Man Made Hill. Additional music is by Carl Didur. The Imposter is hosted by Aliya Pabani and produced by Kevin Sexton. Follow us on on Twitter @IMPSTR / @aliyapabaniSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

12- 1:30pm Do we want others to think that landscapes by the Group of Seven are representing Canadian Art? Or is it Northwest coast totem poles by the native Gitxsan people? The Vancouver Olympic Committee certainly seemed to think the later and art by First Nation people truly represented Canadian identity, judging by the design of the opening ceremony at the 2010 Winter Olympic. The speaker will suggest that such was not always the case. In fact, during the early Twentieth Century, the Canadian government actively rejected that native people's culture represented Canada. Canada was European, if not just British. The policy of the Canadian government regarding native people was assimilation. “Indians must become Europeans” was the dictum. Cultures, languages, and religions of First Nation people were made targets of eradication. Native art was totally rejected. In fact, some artistic forms of art such as dance were made illegal. However, Europeans found immense artistic value in Native art at a Paris exhibition in 1927 and Canada eventually rediscovered Native art, partly because it became a very lucrative business during the great depression of the 1930''s. Speaker: Leslie Dawn Leslie Dawn is Professor of Art History at the University of Lethbridge. He obtained his PhD from the University of British Columbia and has for many years been active as a critic of contemporary art. Leslie's historical research investigates problems in the construction of Canadian national identities, colonial landscapes, and the representations and arts of Native people in Western Canada. Leslie has published many articles on the subject and his book “National Vision/National Blindness - Canadian Art and Identities” received the Raymond Klibansky Prize.

"Robert Fulford is a Toronto author, journalist, broadcaster, and editor. He writes a weekly column for The National Post and is a frequent contributor to Toronto Life, Canadian Art, and CBC radio and television. His books include Best Seat in the House: Memoirs of a Lucky Man (1988), Accidental City: The Transformation of Toronto (1995), and Toronto Discovered (1998)." This is how the man describes himself on his website. I'd only add that I think he is the best of his kind. I sat down with him at his home in Toronto to talk about his long, distinguished career as a Canadian critic/journalist, and about evaluative criticism and what matters most in a book.
John Ralston Saul argues that it is critical that we recognize the influence aboriginal ideas have had on Canada in order to rethink its future. His talk explores these ideas and develops them in the context of the Art Gallery of Ontario's 2009 reinstallation of the Canadian Art collection.
