[AUDIO] Alana Barrell on CBC Montreal’s Homerun

Sabrina Marandola and Alana Barrell on CBC Montreal Radio's Homerun

Hear artist Alana Barrell and her sister Liesl (well, that’s me) in an interview by Sabrina Marandola for CBC Montreal’s Homerun that aired on March 7, 2017.

We discuss Alana’s Wild Characters exhibition running until March 31, 2017 at Le CAP (details further down), as well as her approach to art, continued recovery from schizophrenia, and the importance of the mental health and art therapy programs here in Quebec. Sabrina was a lovely host and it was a wonderful experience to meet her and the Homerun team in-studio at the iconic CBC Montreal offices!
