I wrote this when I was going through a hard time mentally.
Expression through the arts, ceremony and mental health supports are what help through them times. No one’s immune to that so remember to take care of yourself and check on your strong friends.

Say hi to some of the CAMP BUMP youth cohort!!! 💗
If you haven’t heard the news, CAMP BUMP is a new youth mentorship initiative we just launched!
This inaugural cohort brings together 22 high school students under the age of 18 from equity-seeking communities across Calgary, from schools throughout the city. Together, they joined our wider Road Works program to create their own solo barrier works across Calgary.
You’ll be seeing some of their barriers out there near the patios this summer 💥✨🧨 We’re super proud of what these fantastic kids made, can’t wait for you to run into these CAMP BUMP canvases under the sun.

We went deep into the backroads of Alberta at the start of the year; in search of a mechanical bull for @raespoon new MV Country Music Breaks My Heart.
The song holds a contradiction Rae has lived with for decades: loving the imagery and emotional pull of country music while being pushed to the margins of the culture that surrounds it. As a disabled, trans artist from a working class Alberta background, Rae asks a simple but powerful question: who gets to belong in country music?
Made by prairie artists, on prairie land, with a team committed to telling stories from the margins of this place. We’re proud to have collaborated with Rae to bring this vision to life.
