Joy Xiang
Joy Xiang is a writer, arts worker, and perpetual late bloomer living in Tkaronto. Her work engages desire, migration, material flows, and media nostalgia and futurity. She prioritizes collective and collaborative processes, and learning ways of being together in complication and intimacy. Her first zine cold blood used cold-blooded creatures as a metaphor for creative and survival-focused adaptation strategies. She has been on the editorial team of Milkweed, re:asian, and Canadian Art; written for Mercer Union, Ada X, and Hamilton Artists Inc.; and held positions at Blackwood Gallery and Vtape. She is a member of the feminist working group EMILIA-AMALIA.
