Cairo. Nairobi. Rio de Janeiro. Those are just a few of the places we're going today, to see how Canadians are making their mark around the world right now.Simran Bajwa is determined to become the youngest Canadian to hike the seven summits, the highest mountain peaks on each continent. Something that's keeping her motivated through gruelling weather and treacherous terrains is her mom, who is living vicariously through Simran because she spent many years unable to scratch her own travel bug. Despite being born and raised in Ottawa, travel journalist Joel Balsam never felt completely himself in Canada. So he started “shopping” for a new place to live in his adult years, travelling to more than 60 countries. The place he feels most alive is Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, so he decided to stay. But Joel says there's a difference between “staying” and “settling.”When Incia Khalid travelled to Cairo, Egypt at a low point in her life, she didn't expect to find the healing she needed. Today, hear how she handles life, business, and motherhood between two continents.For the last 35 years, Larry Gelmon has lived and worked in Kenya. But his time here - as a doctor and researcher at an HIV/AIDS clinic in Nairobi - Is very much up in the air, after the U.S. put a hold on international aid.This winter, Katya Castillo left her hometown of Edmonton to spend a week in Puerto Vallarta and Mexico City. But for Katya, she isn't just another tourist – she grew up in Mexico and this is her home too. She explains what it's like for her to go there as a visitor now, and be a Mexican-Canadian among the “gringos” abroad.
Technology meets art as Ceri is joined by Mexican-Canadian media artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, whose works are in collections worldwide such as MoMA, Guggenheim, TATE, Reina Sofía, and Hirshhorn. He shares his journey from nightclub owner's son to internationally acclaimed artist and how it shaped his unique approach to creating participatory experiences. From transforming the US-Mexico border to making climate change audible through 481 speakers, Rafael gives his thoughts about managing ADHD, building a successful studio, and the delicate balance of working with major brands while maintaining artistic integrity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Early exposure to nightclub culture and theatrical environments influenced Rafael's approach to creating participatory art installations that come alive only when people engage with them. The democratisation of technology has transformed media art from being institution dependent to being more accessible, leading to an explosion of digital creation worldwide. Managing ADHD has been both a challenge and an asset for Rafael; he credits his condition for helping him work under pressure and maintain the necessary denial to tackle seemingly impossible projects. The artist's studio operates like a theatrical production, with Rafael as director rather than a solitary creator, involving specialists from 10 different countries. Environmental consciousness has become central to his practice, including scientific collaboration to minimise the impact on migratory birds and transition to more sustainable technologies. Rafael uses three key filters for project selection: intellectual/philosophical interest, time investment required, and economics, maintaining about 20% of work as non-profit. The relationship between art and corporate sponsorship requires careful navigation to maintain artistic legitimacy while ensuring financial sustainability. Art institutions face a tension between meaningful engagement with digital art and the temptation to use technology merely for spectacle and attendance numbers. BEST MOMENTS "My talent is more in getting teams together. And there is a name for this, it's like a theatrical director... there's still a vision, it's the director's vision, that is followed." "Ultimately what I'm interested in art is in creating a good party, it is only when people come in that the party really begins, it really is dependent on participation." "I got off of Ritalin so that I could continue a life of denial because it's the only way to lie to yourself that these things can actually be accomplished." "I am not interested in growth. I want de-growth...I don't want to become a massive company, but what I do want is not to grow in personnel or space. I want to grow in time." "The genius artist who did something and then out of this one idea created a career doesn't exist. It's the perseverance." "You'll never be satisfied. You'll always think that the next artwork is better than anything you've done in the past."

Definitely we need a cultural transformation, and no one's better positioned to contribute to that than the arts and culture. I think part of the task that we have ahead, as artists and culture makers, is to really question how we got here in the first place, what brought us here and and what are the stories we are being told.Holà. I decided to begin my conversation with the brilliant Mexican-Canadian cultural worker and climate communicator Julia Matamoros in Spanish so that she could introduce herself in her first language : ‘Bienvenida Julia al podcast consciente. Mi español no es muy bueno pero quiero empezar nuestra conversación en este idioma. Antes de pasar al inglés, ¿por qué no empiezas con una introducción en español y luego un breve resumen de tus antecedentes en inglés y luego hablaremos sobre el arte y la crisis ecológica? ¿VALE?It worked. Gracias Julia. I first met Julia in 2022 while I was chair of the board of SCALE and she was the communications lead. I was impressed by her strategies and insights on how to further engage artists in the climate emergency for example : I think it's very difficult to build new worlds if we first don't understand what's wrong with the values we abide to right now and that on the one hand, and the second is to start imagining new worlds. That is very hard for a lot of us, when you only know one way of existing and relating to other forms of life. It's very difficult to think there could be other ways. I think arts and culture are perfectly positioned to lead the way for that. Art naturally is a space where we can break the rules, create new ones, question, and resignify. I think we need to resignify a lot and art needs to lead the way there, for sure.As you can hear, Julia integrates her diverse background in arts, culture, social work, and community development with a focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and complex and urgent issues like the climate emergency. Julia believes these areas are interconnected and essential for societal transformation and she talks about her work with a passion and a type of serenity that is contagious, in a good way. Our conversation explores a range of environmental challenges such as water scarcity in her native Mexico and highlights innovative climate solutions like rainwater harvesting, the permaculture movement, Mexico's recent ban on GMO corn, and 'Energising Artivism', a new project that Julia is involved in that elevates the role of arts in social and environmental activism.Julia also underscores the need for building networks to increase resilience in addressing climate issues, noting that many initiatives lack adequate community-building infrastructure and she explains this gap and how to address it throughout our exchange. Among other issues, Julia observes a disconnect between climate change understanding and action in the arts and culture sector, particularly among cultural leadership, and she does not hold her punches in her observations of the status quo:The arts and culture sector cares. People care. There's a lot of things happening. Where I see the gap is not necessarily in artists, cultural professionals or even organizations. I see it at the leadership level. This has been very shocking to me. Why is that? I think one of the reasons could be perhaps that Canada has started experiencing the impacts of climate change more drastically in recent years. Whereas other parts of the world have been experiencing that for a while. So what has been going on for the last few years, fires, floods, will change the perception around it as a real emergency. There's a reluctance to speak about it as a priority, to talk about it as an emergency, and to devote resources to it.This section of our conversation brought me back to episode 183 about cultural leadership where we heard how the arts sector is exploring many of the root causes of the ecological crisis however, ironically, the arts sector is not yet in climate emergency mode.This is a complex dilemma but I like the way Julia suggests ways for us to move forward. I want to thank Julia for her cultural leadership and vision for the role of the arts. Julia wrote this note to me after our conversation which I think summarizes her concerns and aspirations: Art is always in the business of culture and of cultural transformation. My wish would be for this transformation to become intentional, grounded in understanding of what no longer works, and in our shared yearning for new possibilities. I think it's already happening but not as a common project.I agree. Let's make it a common project, everyone, together. Hagamos que sea un proyecto común, todos juntos. Julia recommends the following publication Spring Creek PodcastSensing Earth : compilation of essays, interviews, poetry, manifestos, choreographic prompts, speculative fiction and case studies at the intersection of art and environmental activism, culture and nature.Projects mentioned in the episode: SCALE-LeSAUT23 Climate ThingsArtivism Inaugural Global Conference Sept 5-8Other links from MexicoThree channel video by interdisciplinary artist Tania Candiani : I recently saw her work at MUAC. These images give you a better sense of how the piece was presented.Base bio architectura: there is a lot of experimentation happening in ecological architecture - different materials, techniques but with spectacular design at the heart of it all. I find base bio-architectura particularly beautiful.*Chapters (AI generated)IntroductionJulia Matamoros introduces herself, sharing her journey from Mexico to Canada and her extensive background in arts, culture, and community development. She reflects on how she has integrated her passions for social work and the arts throughout her career.The Intersection of Art and ClimateJulia discusses the natural transition from focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion to addressing climate issues, emphasizing their interconnectedness. She shares her belief that the arts play a crucial role in making connections between these causes.Art as a NecessityJulia elaborates on her lifelong relationship with art, describing it as a necessity that has always been integral to her life. She highlights her diverse interests in various forms of artistic expression, from literature to film and beyond.Perspectives on the ‘End of the World (as we know it)The conversation shifts to the theme of the end of the world as we know it with Julia sharing her perspective shaped by her experiences in Mexico. She discusses how the concept varies globally and the creative responses emerging in communities facing crises. Note: Julia noted afterwards that ‘I think William Gibson's famous quote summarizes what I'm trying to say “The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed.'Engaging with Climate through ArtJulia shares her belief that the arts must engage with pressing societal issues, including climate change and inequality. She discusses her work with various projects aimed at fostering collaboration and participation within the arts sector.Energizing ArtivismJulia introduces the concept of ‘Energising Artivism,' a new project focused on uplifting the role of arts in addressing environmental and social challenges. She highlights the upcoming Artivism Conference in South Africa as a platform for collaboration.Building Networks for ResilienceThe importance of building networks within the arts community is emphasized as a means to foster resilience and collaboration. Julia discusses the need for a centralized infrastructure to connect artists and cultural organizations effectively.Challenges Facing the Arts SectorJulia and Claude discuss the various challenges artists face, including housing issues and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and how these challenges can be reframed as opportunities for deeper engagement for the arts with societal issues.Cultural Transformation through ArtJulia argues for the necessity of a cultural transformation to address the climate emergency, asserting that artists are uniquely positioned to lead this change, emphasizing the importance of questioning existing narratives and imagining new possibilities.Art and Community in MexicoShifting focus to Mexico, Julia shares insights into how the arts community is integrating ecological concerns into their work and vice versa. She highlights various initiatives that blend art with permaculture and sustainable practices.Reviving Indigenous CraftsmanshipJulia discusses the resurgence of indigenous craftsmanship in Mexico, emphasizing the importance of ethical collaboration and recognition of cultural heritage. She describes how this movement is intertwined with sustainability and community building.The Role of Arts in CrisisThe conversation returns to the role of the arts in addressing crises, with Julia reflecting on how artists can contribute meaningfully to societal challenges. She emphasizes the need for connection and collaboration among artists and communities.The Power of Self-OrganizationIn this section, the importance of self-organizing within communities is emphasized, highlighting how local connections can lead to meaningful exchanges and on how art can facilitate these connections and foster new relationships among individuals.Navigating Climate ConversationsThe conversation shifts to the challenges of discussing climate change within the arts community, where feelings of denial and disempowerment often prevail and the need for more open dialogue about the climate emergency and how artists can lead these conversations through their work.Bridging the Gap in LeadershipHere, the focus is on the disconnect between the grassroots level and leadership within the arts sector regarding climate action including the necessity for arts organizations to take on more responsibility and foster collaboration to address climate issues effectively.Creating Unity and FrameworksThis section emphasizes the need for a unified approach within the arts sector to tackle climate change, suggesting that shared frameworks can guide collective efforts. The discussion highlights the importance of collaboration and agreement on priorities to maximize impact.Hope and Healing through the ArtsThe conversation reflects upon the role of the arts in fostering hope and healing amidst the climate crisis, emphasizing the need to reconnect with the joy of living. They discuss how the arts can bridge pain and possibility, encouraging a collective movement towards positive change.Permaculture Principles and Cultural TransformationIn this section, the conversation delves into permaculture as a framework for cultural transformation, highlighting its relevance beyond agriculture including how adopting permaculture principles can guide communities toward sustainable living and resilience.Cultivating a Caring CultureThe concluding section emphasizes the importance of reciprocity, caring, and community in navigating the challenges posed by climate change. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESI've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

Rocio Graham joins me to talk about how the exhibition came about and what she hoped to communicate with her images.

Welcome to the Intralingo SPOTLIGHT series, shining a light on authors and translators from around the globe.Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a Mexican-Canadian author of six critically-acclaimed novels. We spoke about her most recent release, Untamed Shore. It is an artful, nuanced, suspenseful crime novel with a cinematic feel.Our conversation meandered into a discussion about diversity – or the lack thereof – in publishing. Silvia shared her own personal challenges in getting even this novel published, and offered insight into the larger systemic issues that result in the same old stories being told.I wanted to know what we could do as readers, how we could make our appetite for diversity known. Silvia put the power square in our hands and offered a number of ways we can contribute."One important thing readers can do is request books that they think might diversify the collection in their library. If it's not in the collection, nobody can read it."Silvia encouraged us to actively look in the stacks for something unexpected, to find hidden literary gems, and share what we find with others. I couldn't agree more.**Silvia Moreno-Garcia is the author of the novels Signal to Noise, Certain Dark Things, The Beautiful Ones; and the science fiction novella Prime Meridian. She has also edited several anthologies, including the World Fantasy Award-winning She Walks in Shadows (a.k.a. Cthulhu's Daughters). Gods of Jade and Shadow is her latest fantasy novel.
