negotiating: sticky sites of affection & infection, influence & inheritance, obligation & commitment, encounter & entanglement, dreaming & waking, inside & outside, you & me, us & we
riding: the breath of that common wind
thinking: about recent or upcoming projects & sustained conversations with artists Helen Cho, Derek Coulombe, Patrick Cruz, Liza Eurich, FASTWÜRMS, Stefana Fratila, Maggie Groat, Jessica Groome, KikoSounds, Faith La Rocque, Katie Lyle, Colin Miner, Tegan Moore, Sarah Nasby, Ella Tetrault, Dustin Wilson; curators/writers John Goodwin, Jacqueline Mabey, Lillian O’Brien Davis, Daniella Sanader
working: on Moire--an artist-run publisher--at our own, unhurried pace
making: (SSHRC-funded ◔ω◔) practice-based research shaped and supported by my doctoral committee at York University: Yvonne Singer, Dan Adler, and Allyson Mitchell
teaching: curriculum at institutions across Canada (Guelph, Toronto, Victoria) and China (Beijing, Wuhu) while practicing pedagogy as artistic practice to radically reimagine relation and communication via play, thought-experiments, (witch)craft, dreams, sustained mentorship, study/writing-groups, and collaborations that nourish collectivist modes of participation
living: in the area known as Toronto/Tkaronto on land cared for by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Huron-Wendat. By acknowledging Indigenous Relations, I recognize the violence that makes my presence as a daughter of Slavic-descent on these lands possible, while nonetheless being thankful for the refuge my ancestors found here. Within these words, I pronounce my personal responsibility to confront the enduring impacts of colonialism
reflecting: upon how, raised an hour from the city recently-named Vancouver on the unceded territories of Coast Salish Peoples-specifically the Kwantlen|qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓, Katzie|q̓ic̓əy̓, Semiahmoo|SEMYOME, and Tsawwassen|sc̓əwaθən məsteyəxʷ Nations-and how I could have grown up speaking these names without knowing what they mean or to whom they belong
trying: to reach not the point where one no longer says I, but the point where it is no longer of any importance (heyhey D&G)
rangling: Miwwi & Mooni
