Our Work Is These Conversations

In the final episode of Our Work Is These Conversations, Red River Métis artist Maria-Margaretta and Lil'wat artist Sydney Frances Pickering discuss strategies in navigating the colonial society as Indigenous women, such as storytelling, humour, and how their multi-disciplinary practices, especially beadwork, provide a space for personal archive, expressing confusion, grieving, and healing.

In this episode, Minah Lee and Wryly Andherson from Art Action Earwig, and Tadafumi Tamura talk about the injustice and struggle inflicted by colonial systems and capitalism, and how their lived experiences as Asian immigrants and a former sex worker animate their work. It also features a trip to the dollar store at which Tadafumi works and a discussion on the cultural implications of mass-produced everyday objects.
