Annette Nieukirk started off as a graphic silkscreen artist, later moved to theater design, then became an art educator. She has made art her life's pursuit and career, and now that she's in her retirement years, her full time occupation. Her current focus is to portray the aging body: those often overlooked by society's focus on youth and anti-aging.
This special episode of the ArtsNW podcast is brought to you by the Arts Council of New Westminster. The Arts Council of New Westminster acknowledges that we are located on the unceded and traditional territory of the Coast Salish peoples and specifically the Qayqayt Nation.
The Arts NW podcast is a production of the Arts Council of New Westminster and is brought to you by generous funding from the BC Arts Council, the City of New Westminster, and listeners like you.
During the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for physical distancing during this past year, this podcast has been re-imagined and presented a variety of the ACNW's in-person programming, like the Music by the River Festival. While we need to stay physically apart for the safety of our community, your Arts Council is innovating to bring us together by sharing the works of artists that live among us. In this special episode we are featuring Vancouver band Bingo Switch and band member Brody Halfe of the Qayqayt Nation.
Theme music: Benjamin Millman.
Host: Daniel Huespe
