Podcast appearances and mentions of maria qamar

Ken Galloway, Western University graduate, graffiti artist and skateboarder, joins 980 CFPL's Mike Stubbs to talk about his most recent project in London called the Wet Paint Initiative, where he is painting 10 murals around the city, with the most recent one on the corner of Adelaide St and Hamilton Rd in collaboration with artist Maria Qamar.

Matty Healy, the frontman of the band The 1975, is known for his quippy, observational lyrics about dating, youth culture and technology. But when it comes to his own emotions, he's typically quite guarded. On The 1975's new album “Being Funny in a Foreign Language,” he leans into his feelings and shares them with the world. Matty joins Tom Power to talk about being a band for two decades and why their new album is their most sincere yet. Plus, Maria Qamar (a.k.a. Hatecopy) makes South Asian-focused pop art that you can see everywhere, from a giant mural in Montreal to the background of a TV show like “Ms. Marvel” or “The Mindy Project.” Maria's art is blowing up in a big way as it's being showcased in prestigious art galleries like New York's Richard Taittinger Gallery and Toronto's Museum of Contemporary Art. She joins Tom to talk about her budding art career.

It's not everyday you get to celebrate a few milestones on a podcast, but here we are: Radio Juxtapoz not only has its 50th episode to share but our first trip up north to the good people of Toronto, Canada and our guest this week, Maria Qamar, aka Hatecopy. To call us mega-fans of the Toronto-based author and artist is an understatement. That Qamar has taken the comic book cel and transformed it into a bold, Bollywood style, humorous and honest portrayal of Desi culture in the 21st century makes her one of the most unique voices in contemporary art. As she "virtually" opened her newest solo show, ME, MERASELF & I, with Richard Taittinger in NYC this summer, we decided to finally catch up with the painter to discuss a wide-range of topics, from her career in marketing and advertising, to her first forays into painting and her growing up in a post 9/11 suburb of Toronto that helped shape her content she makes today. Born in Karachi, Pakistan to a Bangladeshi father and Indian mother, Qamar's career has been a modern look at the Desi culture as well as modern look at immigration from Asia to North America. By using the comic book style, her works are personal stories and overarching narratives of contemporary life in one of the most diverse cities in the world in Toronto. By mixing the aesthetics of Roy Lichtenstein paintings and what she has called Indian soap opera style dialogue, her works have continued to bring a new generation of South Asia artists to the forefront and into the contemporary art landscape. And there may have been a K-Pop fan account, a food blog and a best friend call out in this podcast... The Radio Juxtapoz podcast is hosted by FIFTH WALL TV's Doug Gillen and Juxtapoz editor, Evan Pricco. Episode 050 was recorded via Skype from San Francisco/London/Toronto, July 21, 2020.

We start this new season of the @butterchickenpodcast off with a bang. Maria Qamar, illustriously known as @hatecopy, joins the #butterchickenboys @DJSharad and @DJJuicy for an incredible conversation at her solo NYC exhibit, FRAAAANDSHIP. They talk about the process of becoming an artist from within a desi family, the cyclical and long term effects of forming online and physical communities, and the paramount importance of promoting women's education. Maria was born in Pakistan to parents of Bangladeshi and Gujarati descent and moved to Canada in the year 2000. She started drawing from a young age, and grew up reading comic books, which helped her realize that she was a visual learner. Maria's work is influenced by what she realized about society after moving to and living in the West. Issues of policing women's bodies and lifestyles form key tropes in her work. An important message that we took away from this discussion is the significance of putting your creations out there even at the risk of no one seeing it. We agree with Maria that the more visible you make this kind of work, the better the future will be for our culture. We round off the episode with a set of rapid-fire questions from @browngirlmag and then opened the floor to questions from our amazing audience. @hatecopy is a force to be reckoned with, and we can't wait to see what's next!

A story of cultural tension and racism, that became a catalyst for emerging pop artist HATECOPY. For many kids coming from immigrant families, trying to integrate into a new culture can be a lifelong struggle. Maria Qamar has battled racism in school ever since moving to Canada from Pakistan as a young girl. The constant bullying led to issues with self-acceptance, and she became ashamed of her cultural roots. Maria would find an outlet, and channel her frustration by creating art. But even at home, she could never be her true self. Her parents tried to deny her budding passion for art. They didn’t believe she could build a successful career from it, and refused to help pay for her college tuition if she chose to study art. Maria met them halfway, and took creative advertising instead. Entering college, she assumed that everyone would have outgrown racism...until she met her room-mate on campus.
