đ¨ Edmontonâs political activistsâyes, the same spirited crew once tangled with police on the High Level Bridge during a Palestine demonstrationâwere back at it Saturday, gathering at the Alberta Legislature to rally against the Israeli and U.S. stance toward Iran. Meanwhile, just down the river by the Walterdale Bridge, a proâUSA/Israel group held its own event. Two rallies, one city, one river flowing past all of us, indifferent to whoâs chanting what. Some days it feels like everyoneâs turned up the volume, but maybe the trick is to take a breath, loosen the shoulders, and let the current carry what we canât control. A little serenity, a little humour, a little selfâawarenessâbecause war is hard, life is loud, and sometimes the best we can do is keep making art while the world and mother nature argues around us.
đ¨ Pop pop Dazzled by Every Day and Abstracts of Light and Shadows presents a dĂŠcoupĂŠ visual narrative cut-up on YouTube(s). A look into the past to glimpse the future unknown. Iâve interlaced recent and archived citizen-free news stories with layered sounds and visuals. This process births a new art form, crafting fresh narratives through the cut-up technique. Enjoy!
