Majority of this work takes place in Vancouver, Canada, on the never-ceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. These lands, despite centuries of ongoing occupation and dispossession, are still lived on and stewarded by the caretakers of the land, water, air, animals, and one another.
