A MIXED PLAYLIST INSPIRED BY: Kaija Heitland

HANDMADE JEWELLRY BU KAIJA HEITLAND

Featured Artist of the Kaija Heitland explained in her interview with Hannah Seraphim that she was raised not to waste anything. 

“The idea that we live in such a disposable culture that it extends to the way we raise animals, and how that has allowed us to disassociate with our food, that we find traditional practices, abhorrent, really confuses me” - Kaija Heitland

Kaija’s self-sustaining practices are transferred to her art and echoing the imperative connection with nature. This month's mix is a reminder to pause, close your eyes, and appreciate nature. Plugin your headphones and connect!

A MIXED PLAYLIST INSPIRED BY: KC HALL

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.
