Episode 20 - Arts Everywhere - Visions of Identity: The Two-Spirit Journey of Alejandro Romero

When Alejandro Romero left his medical studies for the unpredictable world of art, he set in motion a compelling  life story. Our latest podcast episode invites you into an intimate conversation with this two-spirit artist, whose lens captures more than just images—it seizes moments of transformation and truth. Alejandro's journey from the vibrant life of Puerto Rico to the vast prairies of Saskatchewan is a testament to the power of embracing one's identity and weaving it into the fabric of a new community. His insights on the challenges of public art, the nuances of neurodivergence, and the ethics of photography offer a refreshing perspective on what it means to live authentically as an immigrant and queer artist in Canada.
