 Hi, art lovers! | | |  | CBC Arts | | | They’re musicians, authors, ambassadors of Calgary public transit. And now, Tegan and Sara are the creators of an all-new streaming series (High School). Personally, that’s all the info I need to add the show to my streaming queue. But if you require a little more background, we posted this interview with the duo before the weekend.
The video’s actually the second episode of a brand new project for CBC Arts, Here & Queer. Consider it the AV spinoff of Peter Knegt’s weekly column (Queeries), but with a focus on in-depth interviews with LGBTQ artists and personalities. Episode 1 featured a chat with Billy Eichner — one of several convos that Peter taped during TIFF time. Watch for more episodes in the weeks ahead.
Until then, here’s a bonus feature for you — a deep cut from the CBC Archives. It’s a flashback to 1998, when Tegan and Sara were actually still in high school. | | | | | And because we promised you eye candy ... | | |  | Emily Harrison | Moth rising. Installation by Emily Harrison. | | | | |  | Nadya Isabella | | Full Moon by Nadya Isabella. See it in person at Libby Leshgold Gallery in Vancouver. It’s up until Oct. 30. | | | | |  | Daumante Stirbyte | | Ghost worms? Whatever they are, the spooky-season vibes are strong. Sculpture by Daumante Stirbyte (previously seen here). She has an exhibition at Ottawa’s Wall Space Gallery through Oct. 27. | | | | |  | Kent Monkman | | | | | From moccasins to a dinosaur skull, the acclaimed Cree artist pulled items from the museum’s collection to create the show. Have a peek at the exhibition (Being Legendary), plus hear the artist’s recent convo with Q. | | | | |  | CBS | | | | | Christopher Ali pays tribute to Angela Lansbury, who died last week. Growing up “different” in Winnipeg wasn’t easy, but as Christopher writes, he could always rely on Jessica Fletcher. | | | | |  | Netflix | | | | | | | Spirit Rangers is a new animated Netflix series made by a team of Indigenous creators. When Kelly Boutsalis was growing up, there was nothing like it on TV. As she writes, watching it with her family has been a delight. | | |  | Bogdan Anifrani | | We grabbed this image from Bogdan’s episode of Dreams in Vantablack, where he animated life advice from Eva Anthony, a (now) 10-year-old poet and budding self-help guru from Windsor, Ont. The whole series is streaming on CBC Gem. | | | | | Share this newsletter | | or subscribe if this was
