Poetik Bazar gives Nana Quinn free rein for a performance blending music and text. We won’t reveal much about the form, but we will tell you about the person. Nana enjoys lying in snowbanks, dancing in her underwear, and crying on the bus. She doesn’t have wifi at home and is particularly interested in the malleability of the boundaries between concepts perceived as contradictory.

Nana Quinn
Nana Quinn is an adisciplinary artist lost somewhere on Highway 20, with a bachelor's degree in visual arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal. Driven by a hybrid approach, they create intimate, poetic worlds in which words are always in dialogue with gestures, sounds, images or objects. Their works are bare exposures that question the malleability of boundaries between certain concepts perceived as contradictory, such as life and death, memory and oblivion, the visible and the invisible, pain and rapture. They have written two books: Mauve est un verbe pour ma gorge (éditions Poètes de brousses, 2021) and Le reste grandit (éditions du Noroît, 2023). Nana likes to lie on snow banks, dance in her underwear and cry on the bus.
