In this episode Emilia Martin @itsemimartin talks with a photographer, educator, activist and a generous, wonderful person - Alexa Vachon @alexavachon. Alexa is a recent Photography and Society MA graduate and a current PhD student in Toronto, Canada. Alexa's work deals with themes including women's rights, human rights, queer identity, cultural integration and the responsibility of artists today. She's drawn to issues that she has personal experience with, connecting with those who often don't fit neatly into society's boxes.

This episode is about bodies, consent, portraiture, hope and many many more.
