EP8. Unseen Memories: Art, Heritage, and Healing with Nerine Cavadias

In this episode we speak to Nerine Cavadias, an interdisciplinary artist based in Toronto, Canada whose art is shaped by unique intersections of memory, heritage, and aphantasia—a rare inability to visualize images and a condition that affects only 1-3% of people. Nerine shares how she draws on family history and explores mental health through her work, transforming complex themes into compelling visual stories. Join us as we explore her journey from photorealism to the therapeutic role of art, and how her practice reshapes the idea of memory and imagination.
