Hangama Amiri, an acclaimed Afghan-Canadian textile artist, joins us to share her remarkable journey from painting to textiles, drawing deeply from her Afghan heritage and personal history. In our conversation, Amiri explains how she transforms fabrics to tell a story with her art and how powerful the medium is to express authenticity and connection.We also shine a light on the resilience of Afghan women through salon culture, a fascinating aspect of Amiri's experiences during her visits to Afghanistan that have become prominent in her work. These salons are more than spaces for beauty—they are bastions of resistance and entrepreneurship in male-dominated settings. Amiri reflects on the art world's often narrow views on textiles and shares insights inspired by her academic journey, challenging the notion that textile art is merely craft. Her experiences at NSCAD and Yale underscore the importance of diversity and representation in fostering artistic growth and confidence.In our final segment, Amiri reflects on her transition to an independent artistic practice and the freedom it offered to develop her unique voice. Aspiring artists will find her advice invaluable: understanding your relationship with your materials and staying true to your intuition as key to authentic expression. ---Hangama Amiri holds an MFA from Yale University, where she graduated in 2020 from the Painting and Printmaking Department. She received her BFA from NSCAD University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and is a Canadian Fulbright and Post-Graduate Fellow at Yale University School of Art and Sciences (2015-2016).

The thriving business she’s built as a master Eyelash Technician and Trainer of aspiring “lashistas”.

Stella says why she feels community and collaboration are important and how her training sessions aren’t just about lashes, but about teaching her students entrepreneurial skills.

I met Kemmy when he was my barber at a shop called Ascension. He wasn’t as talkative as the other guys but he would pipe in with a sharp verbal jab periodically to get us laughing. Then I later found out he was a NSCAD student and he told me about his interest in customizing sneakers. I’m not a sneaker head so I didn’t feel equipped to offer much feedback on his work but I loved the idea. Fast forward to last year, I wanted to make a statement with my shoes for Atlantic Fashion Week so I asked Kemmy to go nuts and surprise me. In this episode we talked about: Where he's from, the shoe design process, how he collects payments, how he promotes his business, the shoes I commissioned him to design, how his time at NSCAD prepared him for his creative career.  

In episode 4 I spoke with illustrator, Liz Mac. Liz opened up about how negative feedback at NSCAD Portfolio day led her to believe she didn’t have what it took to be a professional artist and how a serious accident led her back to art. How her past jobs help her today as a freelance artist. Why working with creative collectives like E3C, attending and speaking at conferences can be important. The struggle of having multiple creative interests. How she helped her career by building a strong personal brand and how her rockstar dad Kevin MacMichael of Cutting Crew influenced it. How she charges for projects and why what you charge impacts the industry as a whole. Liz’s biggest piece of advice for artists: Put yourself in front of people.

Bio: Carol Conde + Karl Beveridge are Toronto-based artists whose practice has impacted the arts ecology here and elsewhere, in ways that could not easily be overstated. Their work consistently takes up themes of labour, social justice, representation, and the power and possibility of art to make meaningful change. They have worked closely with workers, unions, activists, and a range of social justice oriented arts collectives and community organizations. Their work appropriates figures of Western Canonical art and weaves together staged photographic images of actual artists, activists, actors, and workers to expose issues including: gender inequality in the home, the workplace and in the artist’s studio, the global water crisis, the 2008 crash, and Canada’s shameful relationship to resource extraction and indigenous rights. Apart from this, they’ve helped to organize artist unions, to establish the Worker’s Heritage and Arts Centre in Hamilton and they were founding members of Mayworks, the festival where this podcast began its life. Recording Notes: This interview was recorded at the dinner table in the artists’ home, not so far from Factory Theatre in downtown Toronto. You can at points hear their pets and the jangle of Carol’s several silver bracelets. The much despised Toronto air show. Along the walls hung cases of buttons and ribbons bearing union and activist slogans and insignias, and in Karl’s modest living room studio they showed me some of the coming projects they are at work on. Elements of this episode's sound design were contributed by Cale Weir.
