Carina Magazzeni’s digital collage practice is informed by her research interests in “slowing down” as a theoretical and conceptual method to counter colonial archive violence. She is a femme settler from the Niagara Region, on Haudenosaunee and Chippewa territory, and is currently living and working in Katarokwi/Kingston as the Curatorial Assistant of Contemporary Art at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. She is the founder of Hatter St think tank, a research group that promotes collective wellness, solidarity and productivity through shared misery.

NO and NO (Gabriel Cheung and Kyle Vingoe-Cram) is a collaborative art practice and the extension of the artists’ hypertrophied friendship. They have worked together since 2014, while attending graduate school in Kingston, and often take as a starting point the personal stories that they tell to themelves and to each other. Past work has explored collective drawing practices, particularly drawing as a mnemonic device, and the affective experiences of kinships and coexistence.
