““We’re not aiming for perfection. We’re just looking for a fun story to tell about clothes.”
Step into the realm of art, self-expression, and boundless creativity in our latest podcast episode. We embark on an inspiring journey led by the talented Teresa Wong.
Teresa Wong, author of the graphic memoir "Dear Scarlet: The Story of My Postpartum Depression," highlights the transformative power of creative workshops during the pandemic, offering a unique perspective on the therapeutic value of art. As the 2021–22 Canadian Writer-in-Residence at the University of Calgary, Teresa's insights and experiences provide a captivating glimpse into the world of creativity.
Then, we dive into a fascinating exploration led by an artist and writer who found inspiration in an unexpected place: their closet. What began as a simple idea—drawing the clothes from their wardrobe—evolved into a profound journey of self-expression. This creative process sheds new light on how clothing can reflect one's personality and values. Along the way, we draw inspiration from talented illustrators, examine thought-provoking comics that challenge clothing norms, and engage in a unique blind drawing exercise that sparks creativity.
