She did it again in 2021 with a small house of friends and family. In this compilation of the 2020 and 2021 Candy shows, she brings together the greats, Kent Monkman, Tom Wilson and Buffy Sainte-Marie, and shares her soul with newcomers Keenan Simik Komaksiutiksak and Cameron Munroe Fraser. Candy was an artist, a collaborator, and an inspirational auntie loved by Transform. We are so sad we never had the opportunity to hug her in person. Do yourself a favour after you watch the show and get to know Candy through her book “Running Down a Dream: A Memoir“. We invite you to make a donation to Candy’s favourite organizations, Native Women’s Association of Canada and Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance. These organizations advocate and offer critical programming to Indigenous communities.
