New essay featured on the blog!

Sylphia Basak visited the recent Kent Monkman exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and offers us a reflection on both the paintings themselves and the highly relevant political context of the work. Basak is a writer and journalist working between the worlds of art and activism. Lately, her work has surrounded the contemporary arts landscape in conversion with political realities, historical and present.

A friendly reminder 💞 the deadline to submit your work for Volume 5 is April 11th in 3 days! The submission form is in our bio.

This issue’s theme is ‘In & Out’, referring to the constant negotiation between our inner worlds and exterior selves. What becomes private versus public? What happens in the space between, when the line begins to blur?

‘In & Out’ is open to interpretation - and we look forward to seeing your personal take on the theme.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to DM or shoot us an email. Can’t wait to see your submissions!

All paths lead to home.

Written by , this profile traces the becoming of through the spiritual and ancestral lineage of the Moko Jumbie - the towering Carnival figure said to have walked our ancestors across the Atlantic, following the ships to Caribbean shores. In this reimagining, loss becomes flight. Grief becomes guardianship. And through storytelling, we reclaim what history tried to bury.

Featuring Pixel Heller (she/her), a Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist and international performer whose work spans performance, photography, textiles, ceramics, and painting - engaging Black identity, cultural preservation, and masquerade as both resistance and remembrance.

Written by Kai Trotz-Motayne (she/her), a Guyanese-Canadian writer and researcher from Toronto whose practice explores Caribbean storytelling and diasporic memory.

Continuing the highlights of our Toronto featured artists, we turn to mother and daughter artists Panya Clark Espinal and Mika Espinal. Though their individual practices center on natural fibres and traditional processes, they yield distinct yet interwoven artwork. Panya’s 30-year practice spans sculpture, installation and textile-based works that engage with memory and “raising questions about authenticity, reproduction, and display.” Mika approaches garment design and creation as both a technical and emotional practice—one that values care, function, and intention over spectacle—in aims to promote a regenerative fashion system.

Panya’s solo show at MKG is currently open until March 14th. She will be hosting an in-gallery tour on February 28th and online on March 1st at 12pm, all are welcome! (Featured work pictures by Toni Hafkenschied)

Come see their artwork featured in Volume 4 at our Toronto Launch on March 8th! Link in our bio to get your own copy too ⭐️
