CARFAC SASK is pleased to partner with the Saskatchewan Writers Guild to present:
The CoNTIniuum of reading/ Writing
with Nic Wilson
This workshop will experiment with non-division between reading and writing. Participants will be introduced to the theoretical concept of non-division as presented by writers such as Maria Fusco and Hélène Cixous. We will work through several exercises that are designed to disrupt the notion that reading and writing are individuated activities that can be practiced in isolation.
NIC WILSON (they/he) is a settler artist and writer who was born in the Wolastoqiyik territory known as Fredericton, NB in 1988. He graduated with a BFA from Mount Allison University, Mi’kmaq territory, in 2012, and an MFA from the University of Regina, Treaty Four Territory, in 2019 where he was a SSHRC graduate fellow. They have shown work and across Canada and participated in projects with Remai Modern, Plug In ICA, Art Souterrain, and Modern Fuel. They have shown work internationally with Venice International Performance Art Week, Casa de la Primera Imprenta de América in Mexico City, and NADA in Bogotá.
