People trying to build a new arts centre for the NWT are looking to other circumpolar projects for inspiration, from Yukon to the Faroe Islands.

I just pre-ordered Talk Treaty to Me by Crystal Fraser and @saritavk.bsky.social from Yellowknife Books. Publication date is November 4. Excited to read this important book by my two friend-colleagues!

From Lisa Fontaine’s Winyan (Dakota word for “woman”) at The Winnipeg Art Gallery until June 8. ‘Fontaine’s work centers and celebrates the beauty of Indigenous femininities as a resistance to heteropatriarchal and colonial practices.’ Stunning works.

Can't wait for North of North season 2!

It's May in the subarctic and we just had a winter storm. When warm weather comes, it'll be a fast transition to summer. ☀️

As a therapist I worry about the way that current conceptualizations of mental health uphold the status quo by pathologizing individuals instead of viewing suffering as an inevitable consequence of our systems. Liberation psychology gestures towards the paradigm shift we need.
