As a queer Taiwanese artist-activist based in Vancouver, BC, she is grateful to live, breathe, dance and work on the unceded, occupied and ancestral lands of the Coast Salish people. A facilitator by trade, she works with creative technology and social justice media to evolutionize and revolutionize QTBIPOC visibility and community-based work through Love Intersections, Our City of Colours, Out in Schools and the Social Justice Institute at the University of British Columbia. Jen’s artistic practice involves learning through unlearning; and instead of calling you out, she wants to call you in, to make artful social change with her. In the audience, she looks for art in your interruption. http://thefutureisyouandme.com/grantwriting daily 0.75 2022-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1547669285580-OX8XH6MX7LAIFVDJIA1U/lisa+simpson+writing How to write grants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493394508451-PDYSRA52KT1CMC1C1F91/image-asset.jpeg How to write grants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493394675289-ZYGYDDP7FHOWCOLX1J6G/image-asset.gif How to write grants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493395561862-9R2614SCGHBJO836K8LA/image-asset.gif How to write grants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493395004085-8X6FUQ13H0P4TUGVVIY5/image-asset.gif How to write grants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493394281851-6B8RHNQ8H0SPAGK2YR7I/image-asset.gif How to write grants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493394452876-9Z4FVWLGKKZ60DP3GYEN/image-asset.gif How to write grants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493394484464-OJRHHAG5ZFQ5GVSCYG3U/image-asset.jpeg How to write grants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493395624693-KPL5EWZQ2GD4IOZ2GH2H/image-asset.gif How to write grants https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493395108017-RL932HS7FTVM2TNQ8C49/image-asset.gif How to write grants http://thefutureisyouandme.com/partners daily 0.75 2020-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493507862060-2KPZFULCLQ9TDYLNPP4L/Vancity.png Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493507892380-056Q5FID48MOHXCZV4QZ/Nesters-Logo.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1581453979805-J8NF3YTXGHS03U2I47CZ/CW_LOGO_PRIMARY_USE_+copy.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1542693226157-R1QQSMGK3OFUEAD17317/COVcultural-services-emblem-rgb.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493507996248-SAL6F9A56TGA2HV74M3U/HiVE.jpeg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1542693167841-YIP3JPHR97WFYFLTHTUN/CCogimage-en.png Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493507883403-T7Z719O6AKJKAXFCBZ7M/Purebread.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1493507896594-9Z66NJQ6481XDUXDO8AJ/Matchstick.jpg Partners http://thefutureisyouandme.com/winter-2019 daily 0.75 2019-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1489458975961-ZL3A0U0QDTA1BXLXDREY/FutureHand_Pink.png Winter 2019 http://thefutureisyouandme.com/stats daily 0.75 2019-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1547107563300-X8EALZU39Z27E7AVCI31/liz-magor-lightshed-image-photo-credit-liz-magor.jpg Statistics LightShed by Liz Magor – Photo credit Liz Magor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1547108219299-1PDRNTMNPEQFGRWIGHTC/Spun-Portrait.jpg Statistics Portrait of SPUN, performed at Arcola Theatre, June 2018 by Rabiah Hussain, Directed by Richard Speir https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57779d5bf5e2319f1f63fea9/1547107384047-ECJAS1HCB5JWR5ADBM5G/divya-mehra-We-dont-stand-in-line.jpg Statistics Divya Mehra, We don’t stand in line, borrowed shoes hurt your feet OR To India and back: Why we must not give up, 2014.
