 Hi, art lovers! | | |  | CBC Arts | | | The second season of Here & Queer is underway, and in the last two weeks, we’ve already published interviews with stars including drag legend Sasha Velour and filmmaker Kristen Lovell (The Stroll).
Heck, as I type this, CBC Arts producers are at the HarperCollins Canada offices in Toronto to chat with Elliot Page, the Oscar-nominated actor whose new memoir, Pageboy, was a recent hot topic on CBC Radio’s Commotion.
Hosted by CBC Arts’ Peter Knegt, Here & Queer is a talk show that puts the spotlight on LGBTQ artists and creators. (Click here, and Peter will tell you more about it.) And as Season 2 continues to roll out this summer, you can look forward to seeing some exciting guests on the program. I don’t want to give away all the surprises he has in store, but I can tell you I’m especially looking forward to upcoming chats with Jordan Gavaris (The Lake, Orphan Black), Sundance sensation Vuk Lungulov-Klotz and filmmaker Ally Pankiw … whose new episode of Black Mirror is at the top of my weekend binge list. | | | | | And because we promised you eye candy ... | | | | |  | Marshmallow Laser Feast | | Last week, the Museum of Civilization in Quebec City opened Our Time on Earth, an exhibition about the climate crisis, which blends art, science and activism. Pictured: an installation by experiential art collective Marshmallow Laser Feast. | | | | |  | Braxton Garneau | | Oil man by Edmonton artist Braxton Garneau. It’s hard to tell from a JPEG, but Braxton used a few different materials to make this image: acrylic paint, raffia and asphalt. That last medium is his way of referencing family ties to Trinidad and the Alberta oilsands. (On the off chance you’re planning a summer trip to L.A., Braxton has a solo exhibition on at Gavlak right now.) | | | | |  | CBC Arts | | | | | Our Pride zine is finally here! Read Out in Space, an anthology of original comics, plus interviews with the contributing artists. | | | | |  | Dahlia Katz | | | | | Created by Sébastien Heins with the help of the University of Toronto’s BMO Lab, No Save Points is a show you can play like Nintendo. | | | | |  | Samuel Engelking | | | | | | | Just don’t ask her to admit it. The B.C. filmmaker talks about her debut feature, Until Branches Bend. | | | Share this newsletter | | or subscribe if this was
