It's important, and I think you definitely already are someone that, as a host of an event that has been happening for three years, like people know you, people know who you are and that you host this space and that it's welcoming for everyone, and that the message is: love, peace and art.
Imagine a place where creativity flows freely, and everyone feels represented. That's what Bethel Afework, a spoken word artist and community dynamo from Calgary, Alberta, is all about. In this episode of 'The Journey to Creativity', Bethel opens up about her mission to create spaces where young people and artists can thrive. She’s not just talking about physical spaces but also emotional and mental ones, where people can express themselves without fear.
Bethel's journey is a testament to the transformative power of art and community. From her early days as a mad scientist of words to her current role as a community builder, she shares how she adapts to the ever-changing world around her. Her projects have evolved, but her core belief remains the same: creativity can unite us all. Whether you’re an artist looking for inspiration or someone who believes in the power of community, Bethel's story will resonate with you.
Tune in to hear her talk about the importance of representation, the magic of vulnerability, and how welcoming environments can spark creativity and unity.
