At the first online gathering of the Harbour Collective LAB Coastline, the facilitators, software artist Ryan Kelln, and Indigenous computational artist Dave Krouse, gleefully used technical Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Crypto terminologies. Terms such as Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Coinbase, GAN, and Databases were tossed around, but what did it all mean? How do media and visual art fit into this strange alien world? My mind instantly reverted to where I last heard the terms; it was on the TV show The Big Bang Theory. Leonard and his physicist-friends realized that Bitcoin, a form of cryptocurrency they mined, was worth money. Confused more than ever and, to misquote Tina Turner – What’s art got to do with it? Succinctly put, Krouse explained that an NFT is a unit of value and a new way of disseminating art through a record of cryptocurrency transactions called blockchain.
More questions quickly arose. One definition ushered another, and it was easy to get lost in the concept and the terminology. In an attempt to keep all of it straight, my brain was collapsing on itself. A steep learning curve was about to happen.
To further understand Harbour Collective and the artistic nature of its LAB Coastline, as well as give me some respite from all the new vocabulary, I talked with Metis artist and Artistic Director of Coastline, Jason Baerg…

Harbour Collective presents Karmella Cen Benedito De Barros
“Get to Know” is a series that profiles Indigenous artists engaged in Harbour projects. Collective member Vanda Fleury connected with Karmella Cen Benedito De Barros by Zoom in the Spring of 2022 to bring you this feature article.

In a world overwhelming us with information, feeling present in our relationships, activities, and territories can be challenging. Allowing ourselves to take a breath, just as a smudge carries prayers, we see the world can also be a charming place. These open and uplifting experiences are what Karmella Cen Benedito De Barros creates through art. As an Afro-Indigiqueer mixed-medium storyteller who weaves together photography, videography and soundscaping, they dedicate themselves to the land and people they love. Karmella is of Treaty 6 Mistawasis Nêhiyaw and Afro-Brazilian ancestry, living on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations (Vancouver, BC). These are the physical and metaphorical grounds of Karmella’s ceremony, and you are invited to walk alongside.
Karmella is informed by their cultural identity and historical narratives, and their artistic creations bloom from inquiry and self-expression. “Art replenishes the spirit and calls you back to yourself,” says Cen Benedito De Barros. “It is like holding up a mirror, reflecting truths, identities, perspectives, and connections. To hold your own gaze is to be reminded of forgotten truths; it’s where you come to know and understand yourself.” Each glimpse into the mirror provides Karmella with insight, and they do not look away from social responsibility. Witnessing other people’s stories is vital to their creative process and they respond to social justice issues by sharing knowledge through art.
Art is a healing practice too, involving the reclamation of identity, kinship, land, and space. Karmella shared a memory about being raised in foster care and at the age of 6, their grandmother gave them their first camera. Karmella’s small hands felt the weight of purpose and cherished the potential of what they could offer. Gifts of enduring value are often about quality, not quantity. Fast forward to fully embodied artist, perhaps that is why photography will never be a job, title, or thing they “do”. In those formative years, Karmella also owned the costs of camera maintenance and developing pictures and living these experiences taught financial literacy, how to practice mindfulness, and how to shoot with intention for every frame of film…
