You might be used to moving around … but you've probably never ended up in a town full of zombies, aliens and sad clowns. Jon Claytor's new graphic novel, Nowhere, is about a young boy named Joel whose family is constantly moving. He's trying to adjust to life in a new small town, but things get complicated when a giant, otherworldly cube appears and people start mysteriously disappearing. Jon drew from his own nomadic childhood to craft the story, and his rich visuals tell a spooky but moving story about growing up. This week, Jon joins Mattea Roach to talk about how his upbringing inspired the book, his background in oil painting and referencing the real-life Sackville cube. Liked this conversation?

On this edition of Free City Radio we will hear a conversation with professor and author focused on Latin America, Miguel Tinker Salas. Miguel speaks specifically in this exchange on the complexities of addressing the current wave of US neo-imperialism in Latin America as occurring not in a vaccum but within a historical context and in many ways a trajectory of US power dating back to the Spanish-American war in the late 19th century. Critically Miguel I think offers some important insights and ideas as to the challenges that the Latin American left faces right now. The music track is Passage by Anarchist Mountains.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from author and educator Max Haiven speaking on the book : Revenge Capitalism The Ghosts of Empire, the Demons of Capital, and the Settling of Unpayable Debts. The book is described this way: "Capitalism is in a profound state of crisis. Beyond the mere dispassionate cruelty of ‘ordinary' structural violence, it appears today as a global system bent on reckless economic revenge; its expression found in mass incarceration, climate chaos, unpayable debt, pharmaceutical violence and the relentless degradation of common life. In Revenge Capitalism, Max Haiven argues that this economic vengeance helps us explain the culture and politics of revenge we see in society more broadly. Moving from the history of colonialism and its continuing effects today, he examines the opioid crisis in the US, the growth of ‘surplus populations' worldwide and unpacks the central paradigm of unpayable debts – both as reparations owed, and as a methodology of oppression." https://www.plutobooks.com/product/revenge-capitalism This interview program is supported in 2025 by the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear reflections and contemporary ideas from Emma Feltes, who articulates a legal framing for understanding Canada as unceded territories. This perspective is particularly important in the context of understanding the territorial realities of lands and waterways that today are at the heart of the major national development projects that the current Liberal government of PM Mark Carney is pushing. This is a critical voice of context on the territorial realities on this point.

Larissa focuses on the work of some particular artists, including those who were expelled to Greece in the context of Greek / Turkish population exchanges in the 20th century.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from photographer André Penteado on the textures of Brazilian life today and in the past. André's projects have focused on both the personal and the social, visiting unaddressed points of Brazilian history, like uprisings of Indigenous and formally enslaved Black communities in the North of the country, to taboo topics like the impacts of contemporary suicide rates on families, a point that André has experienced directly when his father took his own life. André is also an educator and has worked hard to create collective spaces of learning surrounding contemporary photographic practices in Brazil today.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from photographer Mahmoud Khattab, who reflects on Egypt today. Mahmoud has recently published a beautiful photo book, that also includes some writing, which is drawn from Mahmoud's experiences as a conscript in the Egyptian army. Mahmoud subtly documented his experiences in Egypt, facing conscription time, through a set of intimate and beautiful photographs. The book is described this way: "The Dog Sat Where We Parted is a photography book: a visual narrative of my time in conscription as I venture into the desert as a soldier with a dog, a head shaved and a camouflage that appealed to sand. Questioning times of following orders and sharing a plate and a story with strangers who dressed and shaved their heads just like me. Through photographs discretely taken together with journal writings, I echoed my solitude as I pay my debt to a country with servitude of my body and time."

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear about the Tasmanian Palestine Advocacy Network. This interview highlights the wide geographical scope where meaningful Palestine solidarity work is happening in the face of genocide in Gaza. This interview also meaningfully addresses the critical importance of understanding both the interconnections and need for solidarity across borders between anti colonial struggles in the context of both Australia and Palestine. In this example, where Indigenous communities face sustained political forces that push for erasure, making such connections is important. This focus has been key to work that the Tasmanian Palestine Advocacy Network has been doing.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from musician Richard Skelton who shares reflections on both the creative process surrounding a four part soundscape and music project called Imperial Valley. The project is connected to a set of photos taken in California during the Great Depression, one of the largest periods of internal economic migration in the United States. This is a meaningful and important reference point because it points to the historical conditions of migration that informed the family history of many Americans at a time when the Trump administration is pushing to criminalize migration as a process and specifically migrant peoples.

Earlier this year I ran across an opinion piece written in The Sydney Australia Morning Herald by author and mother of three, Kerri Sackville. The title of the piece was quite blunt, but it does capture our need to rethink how we as parents are using social media. Sackville's title reads, “Nobody wants to read those posts about how brilliant your kids are.” Sackville goes on to remind us that nobody likes to read a boast. Still, we are living on a social media landscape where we are prone to use pictures and text to boast about how smart and talented our kids are, especially when it comes to athletics, academics, and extracurricular activities. Christian parents are by no means immune to this, and I've even seen some boast about their evidences of their kids' faith. Parents, teach your kids to let their actions speak for themselves as they pursue excellence. And, with the Apostle Paul in second Corinthians ten seventeen, we all must say, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

Between August 1 and 3, 2025 in Sackville, New Brunswick, Sappyfest celebrates its twentieth anniversary as one of the world's best programmed and most fun music and arts festivals. Back in the summer of 2011 just ahead of the sixth annual Sappyfest, I met Julie Doiron and three of her children at Grapefruit Moon for an interview over breakfast. Aside from her inspirational work in the band Eric's Trip and her award-winning solo trajectory, Julie founded Sappy Records and co-organized early iterations of Sappyfest. And so, I'm sharing this 2011 encounter with Julie and most of her kids (plus a cameo by Rheostatics' Dave Bidini), because it's enjoyable and provides some insights about her music and Sappyfest.To hear this entire conversation, subscribe to Kreative Kontrol on Patreon at the $6 tier or higher (a reminder that an annual subscription includes a discount compared to a monthly one).Related episodes/links:Ep. #889: Rick White and The SadiesEp. #857: Michael FeuerstackEp. #850: You've Changed Records is 15!Ep. #725: SloanEp. #651: Julie DoironEp. #602: Chad VanGaalenEp. #424: Dave BidiniEp. #272: Gord Downie [Archival; May 2010]Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/kreative-kontrol.
