A life-long practice of emotional translation through the reorganization of words and sounds, music has invariably been a place where Sophia Sanford can articulate specific truths, telling her story poetically, turning pain to power.

We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia.

We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
