To Hum is Human

The Collective Hum: Art, Ancestry & Building Cultural Community

Donnabelle Casis

What happens when we listen not just to the world around us, but to the myths, memories, and sacred messes within?

In this moving episode, I sit down with Chicano/Indigenous poet, visual artist, and cultural organizer Jason Montgomery to explore how intuition weaves through his creative practice, community work, and personal healing. From co-founding the BIPOC-led 50 Arrow Gallery and Attack Bear Press to serving as Poet Laureate of Easthampton, Jason’s journey is one of reclamation, resistance, and radical belonging.

We talk about recovery, parenthood, punk spirituality, and the power of creating spaces that hold both sanctuary and truth-telling. Through it all, Jason reminds us that intuition isn’t just a whisper; it’s a force for justice, joy, and creative courage.
