He completed an MFA in Visual Arts at the University of British Columbia and a BA in Communication Studies at Concordia University. Lindsey Wilson is a multidisciplinary artist. Her work engages with themes of embodiment, queerness, and interconnectivity at the intersection of craft, art, and science. Lindsey completed an MFA at the University of Ottawa and a BFA with a minor in Gender Studies at Queen's University. Raz is a non-binary desi witch dedicated to undoing the harms of profit-driven hierarchies through love, play, and radical sadness.
