I’m a queer activist and award-winning art educator working on the edge of “what’s next?”  With such avant-garde teaching and research philosophy, my scholarly work aims to benefit seven generations to follow because my practices are anti-oppressive, decolonial, community-based, and action-oriented. I cannot imagine social change without the arts because the arts surface stories that have been untold, under-told, wrongly told, and suppressed through colonization. I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Manitoba and the coordinator of the Masters in Art Education, where I teach courses on community art, visual thinking, visual anthropology, and arts-based research. Driven by a commitment to social and environmental justice through the arts, my work has a global reach, including research projects in Canada, India, South Africa, Jordan, and Brazil. I hold a Social Science and Humanities Research Council Grant titled: “Museum Hacking”, with the objective of challenging museum Eurocentric narratives. My academic publications are around community art, museum education and arts and activism for social change and I am the co-author of the book: The Nature of Transformation–Environmental Adult Education.
