Kate Ames is the Owner and Operator of Baller Foods. Chef Kate grew up foraging, fishing, and camping in Terrace, British Columbia. From a young age, she was drawn more to the arts than the sciences. In high school, she took “easy” academic classes like English and French correspondence during the summer to free up her schedule for the subjects she loved most—foods, choir, band, art, yearbook, and theatre.Kate began cooking at a young age after moving out and getting married at just 18. Her culinary journey started with a dishwasher job at a fishing lodge and evolved through roles at KFC, Pizza Hut, Denny's, and Mr. Mikes. By the age of 20, she was managing both a Subway and a hotel pub.At 23, Kate moved to Vancouver to study graphic design and marketing at Emily Carr University and BCIT. She went on to freelance for over 15 years with her former business, Ames Design Studio, and held marketing and graphic design positions at the PG Free Press and the Northern Health Authority.When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Kate experienced major life upheavals, including the loss of childcare, employment, her design business, and her late partner. With resilience and passion, she pivoted toward her lifelong dream of owning a food truck. Leveraging her background in marketing and design, she launched Baller Food, a business born of both creativity and necessity.Kate began by making meatballs in the kitchen of Birch and Boar, where she found mentorship and support from chef and owner William Miller. Using guerrilla marketing tactics, she sold meatballs on the streets of downtown Prince George and gradually built a following. Over two years, she vended at community events, music festivals, weddings, and schools, eventually expanding into a full-fledged food truck operation.Since then, it's been “balls to the wall.” From May to October, Kate focuses on contract events, travels to northern B.C. music festivals—including Valhalla and Riverboat Days in Terrace, Midsummer in Smithers, ArtsWells near Quesnel, and Robson Valley Music Festival in Dunster—and serves outlying communities such as Quesnel, Vanderhoof, and Mackenzie. She also continues to grow retail sales, with products now available at PG Urban Shroomery and soon at Blackwood Gifts.To improve visibility, Kate has partnered with CO-OP and Superstore and has a regular setup at the Chevron Cardlock in the BCR site. She posts her monthly event schedule and weekly updates on Facebook and Instagram, encouraging followers to set alerts so they never miss where she'll be parked.In the off-season (October to May), Baller Food shifts its focus to hot lunch programs at local schools, event catering, and hot-and-ready meals. This fall, Kate will also launch cooking classes for kids at the South Fort George Family Resource Centre, continuing her mission to nourish and inspire the community through food.

In this episode of Below the Radar, our host Am Johal is joined by Damla Tamer, a visual artist and sessional lecturer at UBC whose work explores the affective conditions of labour under late capitalism, and the evolution of forms of civil protest within the contemporary political history of Turkey.

Her practice engages with the intersections of textile crafts and contemporary studio practices, with a special focus on weaving. Her work is heavily invested in searching for a new ethics of temporality through the relationships between aesthetics and politics. Her most recent work focuses on tracing the rise of neoliberal authoritarianism in Turkey and its relation to global movements, the evolution of forms of civil protest and resistance, and the capacities and limits of language and representation in locating oneself in a world that is rife with shifts. She does social-collaborative work as part of various artist collectives and co-operatives. She is a founding member of the artist mothers collective A.M. (Art Mamas) and has organized extensive public programming and co-published a book on motherhood, caregiving and social reproduction in relation to art and labour at large.

It was difficult making it as an artist, and Pary made the choice to enroll in the Communications & Multimedia program at Centennial College.

As an artist and educator, I see that this moment calls for a way of working through decolonization and forging a path of care. I like to think of this through multispecies communities so that, as humans, we're surrounded by more than human life, even in our urban environments. This path of care for our multi-species, communities that make up the neighborhood, the community, and ultimately the earth is where I see my call for research and practice. I know Julie Andreyev from my time on the board of the Canadian Association for Sound Ecology and from the acoustic ecology in Vancouver where she is an Associate Professor in the Audain Faculty of Art, Emily Carr University of Art + Design where she teaches New Media + Sound Arts and Critical Studies.Julie is located on the unceded, traditional and ancestral territories of the Coast Salish people, including the  xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations, as well as the unceded traditional territories of more-than-human animals and plant life including bears, deers, raccoons, eagles, ravens, crows, hummingbirds, cedars, firs, salals and others.It's the first time I see a land acknowledgement that includes more-than-human life and Julie is a good person to lead the way. Her multispecies art practice explores more-than-human creativity and our relations. You'll hear talk about some current projects including Bird Park Survival Station, a long term reciprocity project with local birds, and Branching Songs a sound art project that draws attention to wondrous gifts provided by trees and forest ecosystems.During our conversation Julie mentioned her book : Lessons from a Multispecies Studio : Uncovering Ecological Understanding and Biophilia through Creative ReciprocityNear the end Julie tells a fascinating story about crow friends of hers, so stay tuned. Julie's recommended listening are:Tree Museum Talking Territory Podcast : interviews that explore the aesthetics and politics of trees, animals and relations to the land. When We Talk About Animals podcastQuantum Listening by Pauline Oliveros One Drum by Richard WagameseThe Light Eaters by Zoë SchlangerEntangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHere is a link for more information on season 5.

The word “flush” is a verb, as in an activity that we do umpteen times a day. It's also an adjective that conveys abundance. Fittingly, Rita Wong's poem “flush” offers a praise song to water's expansive and unceasing presence in our lives — from our toilets to our teacups, from inside our bodies to outside our buildings, and from our soil to our skies. Rita Wong is the author of several poetry collections, including monkeypuzzle (Press Gang, 1998), forage (Nightwood Editions, 2007), and undercurrent (Nightwood Editions, 2015). Wong is an associate professor at the Emily Carr University of Art + Design.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.We're pleased to offer Rita Wong's poem, and invite you to read Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound book, or listen back to all our episodes.

Learn about approaching grants and the contemporary surrealist movement when you tune into this lovely episode.Guest: Jordan is a 3D collage painter from Canada. He obtained his Masters from Emily Carr University in 2022 with an emphasis on the resurgence of post-pandemic Surrealism.

A month has passed since the investigation into Buffy Sainte-Marie rocked the Indigenous community. The CBC's Fifth Estate aired the investigative documentary on Friday, October 27th. It cast doubts about the iconic musicians Indigenous identity. In the end the report labeled her a “Pretendian," the term used to describe people whose claims of Indigenous identity have been found false or built on distant family lineage. The report was a bombshell and it hit the Indigenous community hard. Those with connections to Indigenous communities say the story has caused harm and division. Today, we make space for grief: to mourn what Buffy meant in the Indigenous community, to learn why stories like this do so much harm and find out where the Indigenous-led solutions lie to find our way forward. Lori Campbell is using her roles as the Associate Vice-President of Indigenous Engagement at the University of Regina and as a community Aunty to keep dialogue open, and counter the negative comments and conversations that divide. Michelle Cyca is a journalist who has been part of identity investigations in the past. She wrote an exposé for Maclean's magazine about Gina Adams, artist and former professor at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. But now she says she's growing increasingly uncomfortable with the way the media – and the world – delivers and digests pretendian investigations while ignoring the bigger issues. Shaneen Robinson is the Indigenous Music Development Coordinator at Manitoba Music. In her industry, Indigenous music makers are coming together to talk about the pain and the solutions to the pretendian problem in the music world.

Christian Vistan and Josephine Lee illuminate the threads that connect their work and the ways that materials and water serve as keystones to both of their practices. Both of these artists, one working in painting and the other in bio-materials find that they share interests in the roles of regeneration, repair, and nourishment in their work. Josephine Lee Informed by a lifetime of movement through the United States, Canada, and South Korea, Josephine Lee’s interdisciplinary practice addresses the psychic violence of cultural assimilation and naturalization through migration, alongside issues of ecological and racial justice within technology. Lee received an MFA in Fine Arts from the School of Art, Media, and Technology at Parsons, and is currently receiving a practice-based PhD in Contemporary Arts from the School for Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University. Lee has exhibited in Canada and the United States, and is a recipient of funding and awards from the BC Arts Council, Canada Council for the Arts, Vera G. Sculpture Award, Oscar Kolin MFA Fellowship, American Craft Council, and College of Arts Association. Lee resides and works on the unceded and occupied ancestral and traditional lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Christian Vistan Christian Vistan is an artist and curator originally from the peninsula now known as Bataan, Philippines, currently living and working in Vancouver and Delta, British Columbia on xwməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, Sc̓əwaθn Məsteyəxʷ, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ territories. In their artworks, they translate embodied experiences of distance and diaspora into hybrid forms that fold together elements and processes that involve memory, place, poetry, and abstraction. They are particularly interested in working with water as a material in painting and in personal, familial, and migrant histories. They make paintings, texts, and exhibitions, and often collaborate with other artists, writers, and curators. Their artwork and curatorial projects have been presented in galleries in Canada, US and the Philippines. They received their BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in 2017. With Aubin Kwon, they run dreams comma delta, a room for artist projects and exhibitions located inside Vistan’s family home in Delta, BC.

They say it takes a village...but these days, I feel like many of us are way more isolated IRL than ever before. I've always thought of myself as more of a lone wolf, cuz I'm an introvert who works alone most of the time. But in reality, I'm in community with some very amazing folks, like Zach Berman of the Juice Truck. Zach is one of the kindest and coolest humans ever, so I wanted to talk to him about how he built his amazing business, his views on health and human potential as well as how he builds community as part of the Juice Truck world. About Zach Berman Zach is co-founder, along with his best friend Ryan Slater, of the Juice Truck - Canada's first cold pressed juice bar. Husband and father of two adorable boys, he was born and raised in Richmond, a suburb of vancouver, where he got his first Jack Lalanne juicer from a thrift store in grade 11. After graduating from art school at Emily Carr University, he and Ryan took a year long backpacking trip through Nepal, India and Sri Lanka and it was on this trip the idea for the Juice Truck was born. The Juice Truck is coming up on it's tenth birthday this year and continues to innovate and build community in the healthiest sense of the word. On this episode, we chat about: How a 24 year old art school grad becomes a juice pioneer and how Zach became interested in food and nutrition The connection between entrepreneurship and creativity How traditional wellness practices and Ayurvedic wisdom sparked the idea for the Juice Truck Zach's love of travel and the perspective shifts and insights that travel has brought him Zach's plant-based journey from carnivore to vegetarian to vegan What it's like building a business with your best friend Zach's thoughts on building a mindset of success and why distraction hinders creativity What supplements Zach is taking and how he eats IRL His favourite running aids and what he's putting in his juice How community is foundational to the Juice Truck business and how it helped him weather the 2020 storm How he finds a balance between entrepreneurship and family life What's up next for Zach and the Juice Truck Zach's favourite books of 2020 I find Zach's story so inspiring so if you need a pep talk to see what's possible in your own life, you want to learn more about entrepreneurship or just want a sneak peek into the life (and pantry!) of a successful wellness entrepreneur, then you don't want to miss this episode.

Today's guest is Chris Sauvé, a Creative Director in Los Angeles CA. Chris was actually born in Vancouver and attended Emily Carr University. He also lived in New York for a number of years and shares stories with us about freelancing through the recession in NY, and some incredible non-traditional fashion shows he and his friends put on. Chris has a love for books and goes back to them often for project inspiration. We talk about his time at AdBusters when he was doing work for Art Galleries and Artists such as Banksy and how it was his entrance into the art scene. Chris then shares a story about the highs of having one of his t-shirt designs picked up by a Canadian retailer, only then to wake up one morning to huge controversy about that shirt, and it getting axed from the retailer. Wild Story!

Today's guest is Andrew Zo, an independent packaging designer in Vancouver BC. Andrew was born in Tawaiin and moved to Canada when he was about 12 years old. He graduated with an industrial design degree from Emily Carr University. Early in his packaging design career, Andrew created the Clifton Ring Box. This piece was picked up by The Dieline, Fast Company, Packaging of the World, Gizmondo and others. Since then he has gone on to design packaging for MEC, Lululemon, Amazon and more. I really like Andrews explanation of packaging design, so listen for that. Andrew also gives the answer for our first ever ask-it-forward question from Episode 39. Enjoy!
