Interview by Tess Martens
I visited the artist collaborative, St Marie φ Walker at their apartment in Kitchener to discuss their involvement with CAFKA this year. We sat down at their kitchen table and recorded an interview. They wished to make the interview an audio piece which is fitting because they have made podcasts into art pieces in the past. I also met their black cat, Damien and they showed me their studio.
