Additionally, Lannoo's involvement with 330g—an independent artist-run space in Saskatoon—underscores her commitment to nurturing artistic dialogue and collaboration within the community.

But before we delve into our conversation with Marie, I want to extend an invitation to our listeners. We're planning our first Q+A episode, and we want to hear from you!
