Brenda Kent Colina - on Art as an Anchor


Listen Later

Hello friends!! 🎙️🎞️

Join me in this special conversation with my friend Brenda, at her home in Ucluelet this summer. 

About Brenda:

Brenda Kent Colina is a Mexican multi-disciplinary artist currently based in the seaside town of Ucluelet (Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ territory). Born in Mexico City, she spent her early years cradled by colour and warmth. At the age of eight, Brenda immigrated to Canada and was astounded to see just how tall a tree could grow and a mountain could be. This ongoing dialogue between cultures, alongside her reverence for nature, reverberates in her art to this day. 

A graduate from SFU's Film program, she channels her visual skills through documentary storytelling. Brenda also writes poetry. While her projects are varied, many promote community well-being and advocate for the protection of our natural environment. When away from these realms, she can be found looking for mushrooms or lifting weights.
