  • The Cost of Creativity

    The Cost of Creativity
    Oct 10 2024
    Art radically transforms how we move through the world, but the cultural and material support for those who create it is often lacking. This week, hosts Ziga Poromon and Julia Pelitis take the pulse of the contemporary creative landscape. Ziga chats with Misha Maseka, multi-disciplinary artist and co-founder of the women-led production company Village Girls, to reflect on how common perceptions of the arts have evolved, and Julia chats with Jordan Abel, Griffin Poetry Prize winner and associate professor of English at the University of Alberta, to examine the barriers to arts funding in Canada and the resulting impact on emerging artists.
