Shamara Peart is a multidisciplinary artist and writer who lives in Katarokwi-Kingston. She is Jamaican-Canadian and uses she/they pronouns. After completing their Master's degree in English Literature at Queen's, she's been infiltrating different areas of Kingston's art scene. Her poems have been published in Room Magazine, Acta Victoriana, and Arc Poetry among others. They have forthcoming articles that will be published in anthologies with Multilingual Matters and Edinburgh University Press. Currently, she works as the Juvenis Managing Director with Blue Canoe Theatrical Productions, where she organizes a ten-day arts festival that occurs in the Spring. With the ultimate goal of making the arts more accessible, their background in biology, creative writing, and theatre motivates them to consider multiple perspectives. When not writing, she can be found watching a live performance with friends, caring for her houseplants, spending time with her cat Paparazzi, or doing crochet.
