8:00am - 10:00am
CHRISTA COUTURE (she/her) is a musician, writer, filmmaker, broadcaster and amputee, and is the host of Postcards from...an accessible doc series which recently launched on AMI.
Prairie raised, Christa is a musician, writer and amputee, who is proudly Indigenous (mixed Cree and Scandinavian), queer and disabled.
Over the course of her acclaimed career, Couture’s work has mostly explored personal experiences of loss, from the childhood cancer that led to the amputation of her left leg to the deaths of her two infant sons. Her memoir How to Lose Everything was the inspiration for a series of short-animated films of the same name, but after maternity photos that showcased her prosthetic leg went viral in 2018, Couture has been drawn to sharing stories that intersect with disability.
Couture spent 17 years in Vancouver and now calls Toronto home. Postcards from... airs on AMI-tv and AMI+ with new episodes weekly. The series is a travel show centred on accessibility from Vancouver's Black Rhino Creative. Check out Christa and the show on Insta at @christacouture @postcardsfromseries
