This summer, I worked with CV2 magazine and Gallery 1C03 at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival to make a space where people of all ages could sit down and express themselves using calligraphy pens, markers, and more. Their art was then taped to the storage container wall for all to see.

I also conducted poetry writing workshops with young children and performed alongside some of Winnipeg’s great emerging poets: Steve Locke, Amber O’Reilly, Joshua Whitehead, Hannah Green, Chimwemwe Undi, Larysa Musick, Rob Malo (TiBert le Voyageur), and Davis Plett.
