Some of my fondest childhood memories are of family road trips down to the US. Once or twice a year, we’d wake up before the sun fully rose and drive the long, flat route from Winnipeg to North Dakota. We’d do some sightseeing if there were things to see (Grand Forks does not have much in the way of tourist attractions). Spend time in malls and hotel pools. But the thing we looked forward to most was going to grocery stores.
My name is Oscar Baker III, and I’m a Black and Mi’kmaq reporter from Elsipogtog First Nation. On past Orange Shirt Days, I would smudge and pray for family members who were forced into residential schools. This year, after over 1,000 unmarked graves were discovered near former school sites, that doesn’t feel like enough.
For many music fans, a great night out starts with a stamp on your hand and ends with a roll of paper under your arm: after the lights come up and the band moves on to a new city, a gig poster is proof that you were in the crowd and a reminder of how you felt being there. Some gig posters feature graphic styles so remarkable that they have gained a kind of cultural immortality, coming to represent the genres and eras for which they were commissioned.
