Toronto-based omnidisciplinary artist Nep Sidhu realizes the infinite potentials of all materials: sound, space, or steel. The power of convening, invitation, and intention charges his artistic practice, informed always by spirit and service. In his hands and heart, unbroken melody and the throughline between worlds become manifest.

In this episode, we learn what drives Nep’s continuum of care, stewardship of culture, and dedication to truth. Nep and his closest conspirators observe the protection, possibility, and portal in his work—and the community that comes through the door.

Thank you to KMRU, Laraaji, Nailah Hunter, Noel Brass Jr., Shabazz Palaces, Space Afrika, Silver Jackson, Erik Blood, and OCnotes for lending their music to this episode.
