Inner Space with Kaya Joan

WATCH THIS EPISODE

This month we meet artist Kaya Joan, a multi-disciplinary Afro (Jamaican/ Vincentian)-Indigenous (Kanien’kehá:ka with relations from Kahnawá:ke) artist living in T’karonto (Dish with One Spoon treaty territory).

They were curated by Loïk Raymond (aka Inniminan) of the AGO Youth Advisory.  “The reason I chose Kaya is that I believe in lifting up Indigenous and Black Queer creators. They practice what they preach and I truly respect that. Also their art styles are striking and deserves admiration by more people. The celestial aspect that can be found in some of their work reminds me of the connection we all have with each other and the universe. They are an artist that I believe deserves more visibility. Being able to lift someone up from within the Indigenous community fills me with joy."
