Last year I brought a Polaroid and went around to all the different people camping, took photos of their groups and left them the photo. After the show on the second night I went backstage and took a photo of The Stan’s and their opening act, Them Barrens. Bittersweet now but glad I did it.

Polaroid I took backstage in the green room of The Stanfields and Them Barrens, given to the bands.

Some photos from ‘18, ‘19, and ‘22 (mind the gap lol) can’t begin to wrap my mind around all the amazing people I met there over the years, or the acts I got to see.

My favourite band has officially ended their annual festival. I started going in 2018, and it was the only vacation I took every year, the weekend I would look forward to every year. Devastating news honestly but I’m grateful for the memories.

My comment on the instagram news post saying ‘it was a great run fellas’, with the band replying ‘you’re fuckin right buddy!! Thanks for being there, upfront with us all along’

I have a book coming out soon, a printed version of the lecture I gave at the University of Alberta last year. It is called Bodies of Art, Bodies of Labour, it's about art and class. It's out on Feb 4, and here is an excerpt at Quill and Quire. quillandquire.com/omni/excerpt...
