Artists, "Creation" and gentrification with Sylvia Nickerson

When artists move to a neighbourhood and open up shops and studios, property prices can increase and force people out. Hamilton writer and artist Sylvia Nickerson's comic "Creation" grapples with the role art plays in gentrification. Sylvia sits down with Justin and Jacob for a self-aware interview exploring her book's unique visual style and the tensions it brings to light. This interview references the Hamilton Spectator's Code Red series of reporting, which can be found here.  RFK airs first on CJRU 1280 AM in Toronto.
