About
Alisha Piercy’s interdisciplinary work includes drawing installation and films, and she is the author of poetry, novels, and texts in collaboration with artists. Interweaving theory and fiction, her dissertation is a speculative geostory and settler-on-settler haunting that addresses colonial land-space relations between human and other-than-human worlds. Her work has been exhibited at Somerset House (London, UK), Simultan Fesitval XVII (Timiśoara, Romania); Athens Digital Arts Festival Online (ADAF) (Greece); Noviembre Electronico (Buenos Aires AR); and in Montreal: AXENÉO7, Diagonale, fofa, MUTEK, Centre Clark, and Société des arts technologiques (SAT). Her fiction is published with Book*hug (Toronto). Piercy is the Communications Officer for the INGO International Council of Design and recently attended a writing residency with The Banff Centre for the Arts.
