"Morning Shift" by Taylor Neal

Taylor Neal’s interpretation of their experiences rising for early morning shifts as they work as a support worker in the DTES. They would rise each morning to find the moon protecting them, and they would have these tender, quiet mornings alone before anyone else was awake, which allowed them to move into their day in a peaceful, protected state of calm.

A mixed Playlist inspired by: Deuphine Apedaile

PHOTO: DEUPHINE APEDAILE, KODAK 35mm. DISCOVER MORE ART THROUGH HER INSTAGRAM @the.dirtbag.princess

Featured Artist of the Month, Deuphine Apedaile describes in her interview with Becca Clarkson how she, from a very early age, started to explore how the term 'Artist' played into her identity and interest of capturing little parts of her body. Deuphine's photos have become a way for her to connect with other women and create a safe space where they get to be free and reclaim what it means to be powerful, sexy, and soft.

The photo chosen to inspire this month's mix is earth-shaking. The fire – The wind – The water, and the body-ody-ody, bearing witness to the fact that women are some kind of REAL magic. I'm willing to call it the rebirth of witches because the tunes will have all the elements moving with empowering verses. It's time to get undressed, walk barefoot, drink in the moon, and be magick – this is bitchin witchy!
