Episode Synopsis "IAC Commissions: Kaia Kater"
The "mesmerizing" (Rolling Stone) Grenadian-Canadian artist Kaia Kater explores themes of impermanence and change through a tapestry of journal entries and musical vignettes."My audio piece is centered around themes of impermanence and the volatility of change, combining journal entries with musical sketches written during the pandemic. Together, these form a time capsule against which the listener can begin to process the emotions of this era. How would you communicate with future generations about this time? What would you want them to know?" Kaia mentions a phrase by poet Kyle "Guante" Tran Myhre: “White supremacy is not a shark; it is the water.” We wanted to share a link to the artist's writing and resources, to further understand the context.“Fear” Written by Kaïa Kater-Hurst (SOCAN/BMI).
