Part of an institutional effort to have more conversations about contemporary craft, oh! for craft’s sake is a CCBC-hosted monthly podcast that aims to highlight and promote work being done by craftspersons and organizations in BC.
You can listen to oh! for craft’s sake below, or through your favourite podcast app.
about the project
Conceived and recorded on the traditional and ancestral lands of the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, and Musqueam Nations, the intention of this project is to extend beyond the institution and into the community.
Inviting diverse guests to speak to a range of topics relating to craft, we hope to build stronger and more equitable relations within the province. We also aim to bring awareness to issues relating to craft and to help solidify craft as a valued and valid practice within the visual arts.
Coming soon:
Jasmine & Alex visit Sarah Polkinghorne at Black Kettle Brewing in North Van to talk about craft beer and women’s presence in the industry.
Stay tuned!
