Time to read: 5 minute video

Welcome to Arts Commons Presents: This Feels So Real. Inspired by the public art piece of the same name, This Feels So Real video series asks artists to turn their creative eye and ability towards this new world we live in and distill the big ideas and problems we’re now facing into something human-sized and understandable.

Born in Mexico and educated in architecture and design, Silvia Temis discovered flamenco dance and later singing (cante) while designing sets for flamenco shows. Now, Silvia is based in Calgary and after training in vocals with prominent flamenco singers, she is the lead singer of the award-winning quartet, Notas de 4.

In this episode of This Feels So Real, Silvia speaks about her connection to Day of the Dead (Dia de Muertos) as a Mexican and her thoughts and experiences on how this celebration is a way of learning to coexist with loss.

Connect with Silvia and learn more about her work at silviatemis.com, on YouTube, Facebook, Soundcloud, or on Instagram (@silviatemis).
