Scott Helman Creating Mural, Releasing Song About Climate Crisis

By Aaron Brophy

Toronto pop singer Scott Helman has created a wall mural installation and is releasing a song to raise awareness about the ongoing climate crisis.


The Bungalow and PDA singer launched the mural Nov. 21 in Toronto along with artist Kayla Buium (Milkbox). The painting will include messages of concern about the climate crisis collected from Helman supporters in recent weeks as part of the Evergreen Project.

"For the past few weeks, an anonymous form on my website has been collecting testimonies about the climate crisis," Helman said in a statement.

"We’ve received over 600 entries and have compiled them into a document entitled The Evergreen Manuscript."

Helman and Buium will illustrate these testimonies on the mural. Members of the public who attend to watch the creation of the mural will have the opportunity to add their own message.

A Course Focusing On Drake Is Coming to Montreal's Concordia University This Fall

"Drake: Media, Myth and Manhood" is taught by Yassin "Narcy" Alsalman and will use Drake's catalogue, career, OVO brand and more as a lens for exploring art, power relations, celebrity and culture.

Class is in session, and Drake is the subject.

This fall, Montreal's Concordia University will be offering a special edition of its FFAR 256 "Hip-Hop: Past/Present/Future" course titled "Drake: Media, Myth and Manhood," focusing on the Toronto rapper's career and global impact. Drake is the latest hip-hop or comedy star to become a case study for the fine arts elective, which has previously been centred around the careers of Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Dave Chappelle and more.
