Mallory Amireault

Born in Nova Scotia, Mi'kma'ki, Mallory Amirault is an artist whose Acadian and Mi'kmaq heritage belongs to the Kespukwitk district of Yarmouth, otherwise known as the lobster's ass when referring to the province. Their artistic practice engages i critical poetics, literary performance, and humour. As a person enmeshed in the legacy of colonization and cultural diaspora in the Maritimes, they think, read and write about the idiosyncrasies of belonging and identity, and memory as a palimpsest. They currently live alongside the Halfway River, a tributary that flows into the Minas Basin, an inlet of the Bay of Fundy.
