Chang Yuchen is currently based in New York. She works in an interdisciplinary manner – writing as weaving, drawing as translation, teaching as hospitality and commerce as everyday revolution (see Use Value). By constantly entering and exiting each medium, she strolls against the category of things, the labor division among people. changyuchen.com

Fan Wu is currently represented best by this line from Robert Gluck's Margery Kempe: "a writer whose entire faith was in writing, as though telling a story perfectly were the same as obtaining forgiveness for existing." Yet that is not entirely true: Fan is splaying outward from an over-reliance in language, toward the joys of collectivity (long-duration workshops between half-strangers) and performance (experience intentionally set on stage). He lives and works in and away from Toronto.
