Veronique is a non-binary artist, facilitator, and peer mental health advocate of Polish descent, based on unceded and occupied Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh territories. Their practice is informed by their lived experience of mental health disability and chronic physical illness. Veronique collaboratively creates and dramaturgs in-person and digital performances. Through fragmented aesthetics, their work explores how disability and madness can be generative disruptions, which reshape understandings of self, kin, and community. Through multimedia design, their projects incorporate various entry-points, interweaving accessibility with formal experimentation. Veronique has been a facilitator and mentor in both creative and mental health peer support contexts.
