Welcome to Season 2, Episode 4 of Between the Threads.

In this inspiring episode, host Somia Sadiq sits down with Indigenous tattoo and mural artist Justine Proulx for a deep dive into her heritage, artistic process, and the ways art tells profound stories of identity, resilience, and community. Together, they explore the rich traditions of Woodland style art, the striking significance of large-scale murals in urban spaces, and the deeply personal, transformative healing power of body art. Through their discussion, they highlight how visual expression acts as a bridge between past and present, reclaiming cultural space and fostering collective healing.
