Podcast Takeover by Honore

Emerging Caribbean Canadian artist Suritah Teresa Wignall is a passionate communicator; Suritah’s paintings are filled with exuberance, color and light. Her pieces pay homage to her African roots.

Our conversation was recorded in Tkaranto, on the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee, Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe, and Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nations.
