Louie Fermor is a neurodivergent, disabled artist and writer of Anglo-Scottish descent living in Moh’kins’tsis on Treaty 7 territory (Calgary). They have exhibited, published, and been in residence with programs across Canada like the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, the Feminist Art Collective, Momus, and New York University. They regularly volunteer and collaborate with diverse advocacy groups such as the John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights, the Calgary Climate Hub, Disability Pride Alberta, and the Dyke and Trans March. They have won multiple awards for both their painting and writing.
Via themes of history, naturalism, queerness and disability, Louie uses art to explore portraiture and storytelling, including both the stories we’ve committed to the pages and the stories we tell ourselves.
Sync Canada offre de l'encadrement et des espaces partagés aux personnes sourdes, handicapées et neurodivergentes ayant des objectifs de leadership partageant les mêmes idées, y compris un comme le mien : devenir une voix forte et sérieuse dans le paysage artistique canadien, en défendant et en célébrant les voix autistes. Je suis ravi de me joindre à nous.
