melannie patchwork monoceros is a poet and interdisciplinary artist exploring polysensory production and somatic grief. Engaging poetry, memoir, textiles, and film, their work considers the collective qrip (queer+crip) consciousness by connecting to marvelous bodies living with complexity as sick or disabled. monoceros lives and works in Treaty 1/Winnipeg, MB; home of the Métis First Nation and the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Dene, Cree, Dakota and Oji-Cree Nations with their menagerie of dogs, cats, plants, corvids and works in progress.
Wit López is an award-winning, internationally-acclaimed, disabled, gender-evasive multidisciplinary creator, performer, and advocate of African American and Boricua descent. Coming from a family of artists, creating has always been a part of López’s world. Their work combines the skills their parents taught them—fibre art, painting, collage, and photography—and contains elements of their formal training in theatre, dance, and classical music, including costuming, staging, and props. López’s visual work and performance art uses their educational background in anthropology and Africana studies as a lens to examine, decolonize, and reconstruct aspects of their own identity. Through fibre and imagery, López explores hairiness, accessibility, queerness, gender identity, Blackness, and Latinidad, while also fully embracing absurdity and the macabre
Sarah-Tai Black is a curator and critic who lives in Treaty 3 Territory/Toronto, ON. Their work centers on the liberatory and affective capacities of artmaking with an emphasis on embodied Black, queer, trans, and crip futures.
