- Music
On today's episode, we are joined by an amazing trio of artists - Hassaan Ashraf, Ally Gonzalo, & Chukwudubem Ukaigwe - as they share their insights and experiences with pricing themselves as artists and valuing their worth.
Treaty 1 based, multidisciplinary artist Hassaan Ashraf has been focusing on their skills as a painter and calligraphy artist for the last couple of years. Originally a lens based artist, Hassaan has tried to follow the spiral of change in their practice as they have focused on exploring a multitude of mediums throughout their art life. Their practice flourishes the most while collaborating with artist friends who share similar values and political standing. They hope to continue their practice once the pandemic is a thing of the past and nourishment through community and friends becomes a possibility again. Currently, their focus is working as an artist, curator and admin person at TakeHome BIPOC Artshouse, an artist run centre and community nourishment studio space they opened with Annie Beach, Brenden Gali and Sappfyre Mcleod in Oct 2021 for and by BIPOC folks exclusively.
Ally Gonzalo is a queer, first-generation Filipinx man who settled in Treaty 1 Territory back in 2016. Adept in social media and marketing coordination, Ally uses his skills to foster community engagement at the grassroots level.⠀Additionally, he has over 7 years of experience in photography and specializes in honest, intimate portraits. He is formally trained in the field of photography and has received education in History and Political Science from his motherland as well.
Chukwudubem Ukaigwe is a Nigerian-born song, dispersed by a transient Atlantic breeze, currently passing through Treaty 1 Territory, so called Canada. He consciously uses a variety of mediums to relay a plurality of ideas at any given time. He views his art practice as a conversation or a portal into one, and, in some instances, as an interpretation of this ongoing exchange. Chukwudubem weighs an occurrence, feeling, or idea on a scale and then creates a narrative in his own language. He operates as an interdisciplinary artist, curator, writer, and cultural worker, and is the founder of Patterns Collective. He is also the current editor of Plug In ICA Editions Online.
The moderator for our event, our own Studio 393 Assistant Manager, Annie Beach, a visual artist, born and based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Treaty One Territory. Beach is Cree/Saulteaux/Ukrainian, with relations from Peguis First Nation.
