Sell Out is a series by interdisciplinary artist Angela Fama (she/they), who co-creates conversations with individual artists across Vancouver. Questioning ideas of artistry, identity, “day jobs,” and how they intertwine, Fama settles in with each artist (at a local café of their choice) and asks the same series of questions. With one roll of medium format film, Fama captures portraits of the artist after their conversations.
After the deep mists of March, April’s astrology brings some crisp rays of sunlight to illuminate some of the dark corners we’ve been exploring. But the new brightness can also feel like too much, the heat too intense. When the Sun is in Aries, there can be a sense of urgency, a desire to rush—a feeling that all the underground work we’re doing inside of ourselves, in our relationships, or in our spiritual lives isn’t enough because we don’t have anything to physically show for it. Aries sometimes prefers tangible results, or even better, public recognition. Aries likes to make dreams come true, but that energy can ask us to push past our physical and emotional limits on our way to the finish line.
