Shayla oulette stonechild is decolonizing wellness

“For Stonechild, practices of personal wellness are integral to fighting white supremacy and healing from intergenerational trauma. “If you want to be doing this work, you should be talking about social justice issues while you’re practicing self-care,” she shares. “That’s the thing—why are we not making wellness accessible to the people who need it most?

Tidal Traces: Merging Dance, Film, and Virtual Reality

“Sunlight filters through seawater, casting marbled, wavering patterns on the sandy floor. All around you, the ocean at low tide spreads out; beautiful and featureless, reflective, inhospitable. As you look over your shoulder, a virtual reality headset pressing on your orbital bone, you realize three women surround you, moving through the water in fluid, looping motions.”

Gabriola Island: on Beauty and Strangeness

“I wasn’t, in my adolescence, able to recognize Gabriola’s wild strangeness as beauty. The island’s crater-like sandstone beaches are lined by dramatic arbutus trees that undulate upwards, shedding papery red bark at the slightest touch. The beaches’ otherworldly rock formations, created by rain and tide against soft sandstone, appear as mushroomy shapes and honeycomb networks of tiny holes; the resulting coastline looks very much like the surface of the moon.”

I had a visceral reaction reading [Genevieve’s] essay on fashion seen through the lens of an identity crisis. The writing transported me into the author’s need for protection during a time of loss. We wanted a strong, original storytelling voice that would stay true to the theme of the contest, and we found it in a powerful, unexpected piece.
