It is Thursday and raining, again, in Vancouver. Or rather, it is teary out. Street lights are blurred by mist as I walk beneath them. I can make out the soft dripping of water against weakened leaves and car roofs. Everything is an orchestra here in the Pacific Northwest, even the nearby echo of teenagers strutting down the parallel laneway. 

Sell Out is a series by interdisciplinary artist Angela Fama (she/they), who co-creates conversations with individual artists across Vancouver. Questioning ideas of artistry, identity, “day jobs,” and how they intertwine, Fama settles in with each artist (at a local café of their choice) and asks the same series of questions. With one roll of medium format film, Fama captures portraits of the artist after their conversations.
