Nicholas Dawson
Born in Chile and based in Tiohtià:ke / Montreal, Nicholas Dawson is a writer, editor, scholar and curator. He is the author of several award-winning books in various genres. He holds a master's degree in literature and a PhD in arts studies and practices (UQAM) and specializes in queer, diasporic and affect studies, as well as in self-narratives and research-creation. He has been director of Éditions Triptyque since 2021.
Phorie
Phorie seeks to intersect research-creation with curatorial thinking in an undisciplined practice where art and theory intertwine with experiences, narratives, and fictions. Beyond exhibition space, the collective fosters encounters between artworks, people, and ideas around contemporary political concerns. Initiated by Félix Chartré-Lefebvre and Benoit Jodoin in 2021, Phorie welcomes individuals interested in joining its projects, allowing other subjectivities to shape its research directions.
