THE TRENDSETTER (9FT X 6FT) BY KC HALL

Featured Artist of the Month KC Hall shared in his interview with Hannah Seraphim that he dedicates much of his time to revitalizing Indigenous culture, language, and pride with youth in his community. This includes teaching kids how to spray paint their name in their language or word of choice onto a canvas, facilitating a youth skateboard building workshop with artist, filmmaker, and lands-based educator Calder Cheverie.

"I want [Indigenous youth] to set the greatest example they can for our people...They can be successful artists. They can do whatever they set their minds to.” - KC Hall

The inspiration for this month's playlist is KC’s grafitti artwork ‘The Trendsetter’ and his vision of a future tied to rewriting Indigenous history.
