Silver Threads
Still walking, still waking
Collapsing Silos — Am Johal
Show Description:
“We need to create spaces for gentleness. In the harshness that we live in, we don’t think about that gentleness enough, and the kindness that’s going to be required to build a new world.”
This week, we sat down with Am Johal, connector of radicals, builder of worlds and local organizer in Vancouver (Canada), to talk about art, fight, play, gentleness, and more!
