Room to Y breathe Artist Bria Miller hopes to encourage others to be themselves and find their space
armouth native Bria Miller left for Halifax after high school to escape racism and homophobia, and create space for themself. Now, as a Black, Indigenous, queer artist, they want to do the same for other marginalized and racialized people. “Creating those spaces is so important to invade that reality of discrimination and surveillance everywhere we go, but also because we’re treated as suspicious when we gather,” says Miller. “The benefits of that remind us of our vitality, and everything doesn’t have to be about getting away from white people. It’s about being together.”
