On today’s show, we visit with two artists in residence at Struts Gallery about their upcoming presentation, Voices from Scorched Earth, happening on April 22nd at Struts. Styvens Barrios Loch and Romi Fischer-Schmidt are in Sackville as part of a larger project looking at the connections between resource extraction, wealth, and art. Voices from Scorched Earth will feature traditional instruments, interviews and video connecting Sackvillians with the residents and land of El Estor, Guatamala.

Plus in briefs:

  • MLA Megan Mitton met with residents Thursday to give an update on progress towards fixing and/or replacing the Wheaton Covered Bridge. Mitton says the province has shown a “willingness to work with our community” on a solution.
  • Advanced polls are open today and through to Monday April 21, from 9am to 9pm at the Tantramar Veterans Memorial Civic Centre in Sackville.
