Mi?ch Cota/ Ki?zis Montreal, Indigenous, Trans artist/ Sarah Kellysen artist from Calgary, Alberta featured interviews
8:02am - 10:02am
Kizis (fka Mich Cota) is a four-spirit trans woman, raised by a native father and a white mother in Southern Ontario. Cota began composing small melodies on the piano from the age of three to create her own sacred space in an intensely religious home. Inspired by her countryside surroundings, she would ingrain herself in nature, imagining herself in a place free of theology and restraint.
Her music is a way of navigating past traumas while exploring her queer experience, with open, unapologetic sincerity. It’s through her artistic expression that she relates to others, to build collective understanding and empathy, with the intention to heal and challenge normative ways of being.
