SHERWIN TJIA is the author of 9 books. His collection of 1300 pseudohaikus, The World is a Heartbreaker, was a finalist for the Quebec Writers Federations's A.M. Klein Award. His graphic novel, The Hipless Boy, was a finalist for the Doug Wright Award and nominated for 4 Ignatz Awards. His latest book is the last of a trilogy of Choose Your Own Adventure style books from the POV of a cat, entitled You Are a Kitten!. In addition to his writing, he is also a multidisciplinary artist whose practise blurs the boundaries between performer and audience. Incorporating elements of childhood and nostalgia, Tjia's events create contexts that welcome participants to open and unsettle themselves, often in acts of radical intimacy or unexpected collaboration. He gently seduces participants into regressing and revealing themselves under the auspices of “having a good time”. He has toured these works nationally and internationally. | SHERWIN TJIA is the author of 9 books.

==An Li, Vo Thien Viet, and Emily Yee Clare== | |||
Through strikes and rants, we have struggled together to digest and understand our identities. Always complicated, always confusing, we want to investigate who we are, and memory and its place within our communities. Although, we come from different places and perspectives, our narratives have woven together through love, activism, and friendship. | |||
Intimacies bring us together, strengthen our will, and empower us to fight for our communities and our politics. We want to highlight the two sides of this: the internal care and love and the outward cry for justice. We are looking to recreate images of everyday community members to capture individual moments of solidarity, compassion and love throughout time. | |||
Three humans. Who made art. Once upon a time. Out of love for their communities, and rage for those who fuck with us. | |||
Description: Distant Intimacies is an evolving project centering racialised representation. Our presentation will discuss the challenge. | |||
