Moez Surani
Moez Surani's writing has been published internationally, including in Harper’s Magazine, Best American Experimental Writing, Best Canadian Poetry, and The Globe and Mail. His visual and performance works have been shown in Toronto at Theatre Passe Muraille, Nuit Blanche, and YYZ Artists' Outlet, and internationally at WhiteBox (New York), the Cross Gallery (Taipei), the New Zero Arts Space (Yangon), and the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Centre. He is the author of four poetry books: including Operations (Bookhug, 2016), which is comprised of the names of military operations, and reveals a globe-spanning inventory of the contemporary rhetoric of violence. Most recently, he has been working on Heresies*, a collaboration with Canadian artist Nina Leo, and a group of international perfumers, to produce a line of custom scents that operate as lyric poems and express diverse and suppressed subjectivities.
