Art in Action interview - Christeen Francis printmaker

For this edition of the Art in Action interview series I am featuring a conversation with printmaker Christeen Francis, a long time collaborator. In this conversation we hear about the exchange of paper and ideas that lead to a series of pasted up street art collaborations in Montreal. Christeen speaks about the symbolism of the animals featured in the prints and the impact of paper based street art as part of a layer of process surrounding building support for social movements struggling for transformative change both locally and globally. Christeen speaks about the collaboration toward a poster focused on supporting a group of non-status Guinean asylum seekers in Canada who are collectively struggling for their asylum claims to be recognized and to be granted status as refugees in Canada. The accompanying graphic is a photo of Christeen's print pasted up in Montreal by Stefan Christoff Information on Christeen's work here: https://justseeds.org/artist/christeenfrancis Music on this program is "Passage" by Anarchist Mountains. Stefan produces this monthly artist interview series, Art in Action, that broadcasts monthly on Radio AlHara in regular programming on the first Friday of each month at 4:30pm in Bethlehem, Palestine and 9:30am eastern time.
