It's a special #NTR Spotlight edition of New Theory Radio this week.
The NTR Spotlight is a segment we introduced a few weeks ago where we profile an artist or an organization pushing arts and culture scene forward. This week we feature an artist, a film festival, and a magazine - all of which are bringing unique perspectives to their appropriate mediums.
First, host Nav Nanwa welcomes artist/community outreach leader Terence Penny to talk about his latest project 'TP The EP 2'. Terence is from the Jane & Finch community in Toronto and talks about his upbringing, his ability to connect with people, and also drops an exclusive regarding a big collaboration he has lined up for his deluxe release.
Then, Nav is joined by the Founder/President of IFFSA Toronto Sunny Gill to chat about the virtual direction for this year's festival. IFFSA is the largest South Asian film festival in North America and will be taking place from August 6th to the 16th online. Sunny talks about how they went about pivoting the festival amidst this pandemic, and how they've consistently kept their programming diverse and thought-provoking for the last nine years.
Lastly, Newest Magazine editor Harjot Ghuman-Matharu stops by to talk about the magazine's upcoming launch, and the importance of identity, art and togetherness. Harjot is working with Creative Director and New Theory alum Raji Aujla on this project which aims to provide a voice to artists that are underrepresented within the mainstream. Harjot sheds light on the first issue, while also talking about her journey as an artist, as she has a spoken-word piece featured in the magazine.
