KAPSULA is simply jazzed to announce that Danica Evering will be our guest blogger covering the 2018 edition of Vector Festival.
Danica Evering was born in Cobourg and lives in Hamilton. Through writing, sound composition, and curation, she works through difficulty and belonging, reaching out intentionally, and complicating narratives. Her SSHRC-supported MA in Media Studies from Concordia University questions power dynamics and insider/outsider relationships in social practice through interviews with artists and creative analysis of her own field work. Currently working as the Education Officer at Humber Galleries, her side hustles are researching, facilitating, presenting, moderating, editing, and consulting.
Danica’s writing has recently appeared in No More Potlucks, Lemon Hound, Public, and Susan Hobbs Gallery’s Framework Series, and she made poetry for and performed in Althea Thauberger’s experimental video work L’arbre est dans ses feuilles as part of In Search of Expo 67 curated by Lesley Johnstone and Monika Kin Gagnon at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal. She recently composed a sound walk as part of a co-located audio mapping exchange between Montreal QC and Morecambe UK, programmed by the Centre for Mobilities Research at Lancaster University. She was a founding member of the editorial collective of Publication Studio Guelph, a sibling studio of an international publishing network that attends to the social lives of books, and participated in the creation and development of the Benčić Youth Council, a radical arts education program for youth in Rijeka.
