To Be Continued: Troubling the Archive

In this episode, Anna Shah Hoque rounds off Season 3 with a chat with the fabulous guest producers of Season 3: Aedan Corey, Keegan Prempeh, Kole Peplinskie, Summer Harmony-Twenish and Matt Miwa.   They dive into how they have cultivated their art practices in Odawa, the push and pull relationship between sustaining a creative practice in a neoliberal capitalist economy, and how and each of their respective communities.  Thank you so much for joining us this season! Thank you to all the participants! What has been your favourite conversation? We hope you have a great summer!  Participants:  Aedan Corey   Aedan Corey is a Two Spirit writer, visual artist, emerging curator and Inuit tattooist from Iqaluktuuttiaq, Nunavut — a town of approximately 1,800 people. Author and illustrator of the chapbook “Inuujunga” (Coven Editions, 2021) and short story “Unikkaannguaq” (Nipiit Magazine, 2020), they began creating art at a young age. Aedan’s work is heavily inspired by their lived experiences as a queer, neurodivergent Inuk. Their goal is always to inspire and advocate for those within their communities through their artistic practices, letting others know that they are not alone. Aedan currently resides on the unceded Algonquin territory known as Ottawa. Check out Aedan’s work on Instagram @uviluq_by_design  Matt Miwa   Matt Miwa (he/him) hails from Aurora, Ontario. He moved to Ottawa in 2000 to attend theatre school.

This play traces the oral histories of twenty Japanese Canadian elders. Matt and Julie hope to perform this play for the rest of their lives.  Matt's dedication to this play is indicative of his broader love and appreciation for the Japanese Canadian community with whom he frequently works.  Most recently, Matt produced the event “Tomoni/Go Together” with CUAG.  Tomoni unites Japanese cultural practitioners with local non-Japanese artists in unique and surprising artistic collaborations.  @miwa.light.house    Kole Peplinskie   Kole Peplinskie (they/them) is an Anishinabe beader and artist currently living on unceded and unsurrendered Algonquin territor

What is the importance of controlling, directing and creating spaces for the kinds of stories we want to hear, witness and learn from and about? In episode 10 of the TBC podcast, producer Anna Shah Hoque talks to Adrienne Row-Smith and Hingman Leung about filmmaking, photography and visual storytelling and production.   Anna, Adrienne and Hingman think through developing visual archives directed by their respective lived experiences. They talk about racial bias in visual technologies and cultivating and practicing ethical artistic practices while working with people and creating spaces for stories that centre Black and racialized lives and communities.  Credits: Season 3 graphic created by Hunter Dewache.

In this episode, we begin at a local flower shop: Scrim's Florist on Elgin. Guest producer Matt Miwa and his invited guests Sumayya Mayet and Nesta Charles have all worked there and have each incorporated floral design into their art and creative practice.  Flower shops are unusual retail spaces; they invite artistic engagement and collaboration more than most other retail realms. Scrim's was also the first employment opportunity for both Sumayya and Nesta upon arriving in Ottawa from Johannesburg and St. Lucia (via Toronto), respectively.   This episode traces a day in the life at the flower shop and expands outward as the guests contemplate their queer identities, where they came from and how they navigate Ottawa and Canada's larger queer communities.    Refreshingly, we learn how Sumayya and Nesta walk with an energized sense of hope through the streets of Ottawa.   Credits: Season 3 graphic created by Hunter Dewache.
