It’s Postcommodity’s third trip to Guelph, and they join us in the studio to discuss the project they have been developing, establishing a DIY space working with Guelph’s immigrant and racialized communities. We discuss the third space, a concept of theorist Homi Bhabha, as a place where anyone can cross the threshold and engage in the space easily. Their efforts to be generative in Guelph are linked with Guelph’s own history and spirit as a place to experiment and take risks.
