︎PROJECTS
kat benedict (they/them) is a queer writer and facilitator working in presentational and propositional forms. Their practice is led by questions of embodiment, memory, grief, literacies and erotics: through the body, the page, and the archive. Using processes of fragmentation, collage and fabulation, their work comes together in lectures, convenings, printed matter, and objects that propose extended modes of reading and recording.
Benedict has worked in organising, writing and facilitation capacities with organisations such as QUEERCIRCLE, Institute of Contemporary Arts, The Common Press, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Reference Point, HOT WHEELS London, IMPAKT Centre for Media Culture, MAXIM GORKI Theatre, CASCO Art Institute, GenderFail, Deli Gallery, InterAccess, Arsenal Contemporary, Julia Stoschek Foundation, CONTACT Photography Festival, Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation, and Images Festival. They are the former Co-Director of the nomadic artist space Bunker 2 (Toronto), a Co-Founder of the Queer Partnerships Collective (Montréal) and a former member of the artist collective 8Eleven (Toronto).
Benedict’s writing has appeared in esse arts + opinions, SLEEK Magazine, AQNB, C Magazine, Terra Firma Magazine, among others. Their debut poetry pamphlet, this aching archive, is available through presse books, and they are currently working on their queer fan-nonfiction novel, SANS III.
