Authors & Headliners

Shayne Golosky-Johnston is a two-spirit poet coming from both the windswept yellow plains, and mountainsides of the nitsitapi lands and the dense forests and muskeg of the nehiyaw territory. They have been performing off and on within amiskwaciwaskahikan for about five years. They work around themes of belonging, queerness, colonization, mental illness, home, and what it means to walk in a good way as a queer mixed indigenous person who has been transplanted into a city (in)famous for its gentrification projects.
