Jane Shi is a writer, poet, editor, community organizer, filmmaker, and dumpling-maker. These disciplinary hats converge in a lifelong interest in cultural reclamation, survivorship, and healing intergenerational trauma. She is a recent graduate of The Writer's Studio program at Simon Fraser University, and is also an alumni of English Honours and Asian Canadian and Asian Migration studies at the University of British Columbia.
Jane wants to live in a world where love is not a limited resource, land is not mined, hearts are not filched, and bodies are not violated. She has learned the most about the practice of interdependence, possibilities of transformative justice, and what it means to reroute yourself in a world of constant change from residents of the Downtown Eastside and from fellow sick and disabled, queer and trans racialized survivors. She is committed to continuously asking herself what she owes the Coast Salish peoples on whose lands she has lived for much of her life, and acting accordingly.
