<p>“Life has been a roller coaster of moving from one art form to another.” Cranbrook artist, performer and puppeteer Marcel Dou Roig speaks with Vibrant Basin host Shayna Jones about his artistic trajectory from Barcelona to Chile to New York to Florida (where he met his Canadian wife) and finally to Cranbrook. Marcel talks about the importance of public art and how his core artistic values can inspire others. “The only responsibility I have as a human being in this world is to be happy. I want to show people what I know—happiness, peace and unity will create a ripple effect.” This past September, Marcel’s giant elephant puppet, Ed, was the centrepiece of Cranbrook’s Ed Fest, which also featured art installations, music and a circus parade—starring Ed, of course.

<p>Tegan Whitesel brings traditional Métis material arts to her jewellery making practice. Working from her Kimberley home studio, Tegan fuses beading, hide and metal work into her designs, creating wearable art that integrates the old with the new. Tegan speaks to Vibrant Basin host Shayna Jones about learning and maintaining traditional Métis beading practices in her community. She describes the channel, or blood memory, that she feels between past and present when she is immersed in her work. Mentorship, motherhood and community are key components of Tegan’s practice. “Motherhood forces you to distill your passions and make them a priority.” She talks about facing her fears of “not doing it the right way,” of not being “Métis enough.” Her advice for facing your fears when starting to learn something new? “Give yourself some grace and have your own back. Be brave.” You can find Tegan’s work on her website, teganwhitesel.com, as well as on Instagram and Facebook.

<p>Zaynab Mohammed is an award-winning performance poet based in Nelson. Her current project is a one-woman show called Are You Listening? which melds poetry, movement and storytelling. Zaynab and Vibrant Basin host Shayna Jones discuss the evolution of the piece, which began as a series of 47 interviews with individuals on the art and act of listening. “I started by listening to myself. It was hard and profound.” Zaynab talks about her poetry, her heritage and sharing her very personal work with audiences. “I feel our life is poetry and some people use words to describe the little day-to-day things.” Artists see the world and reflect it back.” Read more about Zaynab and her work on her website, zaynabmohammed.com, and on Instagram, @poemsbyzaynab.
