Jenna FitzGerald
Jenna FitzGerald is a multidisciplinary artist from Toronto whose work explores the intersection of technology and nature, inspired by both organic and digital imagery and materials.

The Collaboratory for Black Poiēsis
The Collaboratory for Black Poiēsis (CBP) is an experimental, multidisciplinary research incubator and co-working research-creation hub, an archival nexus, and creative atelier/studiolab that is rooted in the importance of black study, Afro-Indigenous relations, and Afro-diasporic technologies. The CBP was established in 2022 and is led by Prof. SA Smythe. It is a coalitional space where transnational and anticolonial cultural workers, educators, researchers, technicians, artists, activists, system-impacted and other community members collaboratively and creatively attend to the genre-defying aesthetic interventions of Black life and Black studies. We embrace our roles as makers and maintainers, relishing liberatory practices and ideas about where we’ve been and (re)imagining where and who we want to be, together.Find out more
