"This project asks members of the Black community to share their lived sonic experience. Together, we will ask..."
"While participating in the Open Studios artist residency at Struts Gallery in Sackville, New Brunswick, I am looking to connect with Black community members from a range of backgrounds and lived experiences in the region. I will ask to record the audio of our conversation to create samples to add to a mixed audio collage that pieces together field recordings, experimental sounds and music. The work will be presented to the public at the end of August."

With discussions around culture, identity, race, and inclusion the history of Canada that is complex and evolving.. artist brings people together for deeper discussions.. and I like that.. its productive and helpful... who else knew that just for discussing the book shown below in a meeting, not on the air, Wendy Mesley was "let go" from the CBC after many years of reporting? So.. I support the Struts Gallery by cash donations.. its something I think is valuable here.. I think more discussions on race and identity help us all to get along and be wise and informed.. shutting people up for their opinions and their lived experiences serves no one.. it is backwards and destructive.. Canada is a country of many many races and religions in 2025.. we have to figure out how to get along and respect differences.
