In each issue, Broken Pencil asks an artist to curate Folio — a section highlighting creators working in unexpected media and materials. This edition is hosted by Christina Hajjar and Noelle Sagher.![](https://brokenpencil.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/IMG_9034.jpg)
Christina Hajjar and Noelle Sagher’s moodboards explore the overlaps of their interrelated cultures. Working as diasporic Arab millennial artists based in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Treaty 1 Territory and Homeland of the Métis Nation), they arrange adornments, cultural paraphernalia, and storied foods to create a third space of identity and belonging. This aesthetic ritual of home-making and self-portraiture pays tribute to the collaboration between cultures and artists, as their palette of golds, sweets, citrus and floral interanimates one another and the hand that guided them there.
