Monique Flynn

Monique Flynn is a queer poet and artist from the Gayogo̱hó:nǫˀ ancestral homelands. Her creative practice embodies topics of identity, culture, class, gender, intergenerational trauma, resistance, and resilience. Flynn incorporates storytelling, performance, literary arts, photography, music, and film in her work. As a descendant of the Gayogo̱hó:nǫˀ who have been sustained by Turtle Island since time immemorial, and Irish settlers of Montreal, Flynn values the braiding but not blending of Indigenous and Western ways of knowing and being. Through her work, she shares stories carried in her DNA and her decolonial journey through womanhood.
