Today Helen chats with Natalia Bonczek about feminism, art-based research, mental health, and learning from Indigenous scholars at York University. We cover some of Natalia’s most inspiring professors and classes that led to transitioning from a Psychology Undergrad to a Gender, Sexuality and Women’s studies major and how this led to pursuing a Master’s degree researching Madness (mental health from lived experience). We learn more about how Natalia uses art to build community and think critically about complicated topics. Natalia encourages any curious mind to explore the possibilities of feminism and artmaking and provides practical advice for first-year university students.
