39 today 🌺 My parents called this morning and my mom asked whether I'd prayed (which I had). My dad asked whether I'd given thanks (which I had). As I embark on this 40th journey around the sun, I give thanks for love, for both the depth and abundance of love in my life. I give thanks for purpose, for the beauty of waking up every morning and living an intentional and fulfilling life. I give thanks for all the ways in which I am witnessed, seen and held, in all my complexities. And given that it's my birthday today and that I am away for a writing residency: If there are any special memories of us and/or things you like/appreciate about me that you want to share, these would be very welcome! #birthday #aries gratitude #artist #portrait #art #poet #performer #visualartist #writer #translator #author #femme #lgbt #lgbtq #queer #trans #transgender #zomfam #mauritius #montreal #lamackerel #kamalamackerel (at Pátzcuaro, Michoacán) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqTN-vCLkDw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mersi moris pou enn letan extraordiner dan sa berso ki to ete la. Mo inn bien travay, mo inn akompli bokou kit soz, mo inn zwinn bann dimoun extra inspiran ek mon inn gayn pass letan ek mo fami. Mo leker bien kontan ❤️💙💛💚 Thank you Mauritius, «the island body», the wonderful past few weeks. I haven't managed to accomplish all I had set out to do during my time here, but then the journey was full of surprises, of chance meetings, of magical moments that actually surpassed all my expectations of what my time here could be, would be. Deep gratitude for everyone I shared space with. Deep gratitude for the friendships, old and new, for the ecologies, the geologies, for the poetic and mineral memory. There is a part of me that has grown and transformed that I cannot fully grasp yet. And as much as my heart is filled with sadness at having to leave, my heart is filled with gratitude. There are also some very exciting things that lined up in this trip (but that I am not allowed to announce publicly yet!) Until next time! 🌺❤️🌊💙🌞💛🌱💚 #gratitude #queeringtheislandbody #islandbody #mauritius #mauritiusartist #mauritian #queermauritius #transmauritius #art #artist #performer #performance #poet #poetry #visualart #visualartist #lgbt #lgbtq #queer #trans #transgender #femme #montrealartist #island #body #lamackerel #kamalamackerel #zomfam (at Mauritius, Indian Ocean, Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIN5EBo9gE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The past few weeks have been extremely challenging in all matters of life. This being said, I am thrilled to have gathered all this work under one roof.

É𝕔𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕙𝕦𝕞𝕒𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕤 is a project by @bonjourdpt that honors 11 individuals working in different fields and neighborhoods that pays tribute to their cultural, artistic and community-engaged work within their localities. I am deeply moved to be included in this project. The project consists of the virtual sculptures & short podcasts on each of the life & engagements of the individuals! If you are by La Place de La Gare Jean-Talon (just outside Parc Metro) anytime over the next few months, check it out.

[la version FR suit] ⠀ ⠀ Greetings,⠀ ⠀ My name is Kama La Mackerel & I am a Montreal-based Mauritian-Canadian multi-disciplinary artist, educator, writer, community-arts facilitator & literary translator who works within & across performance, photography, installations, textiles, digital art & literature. ⠀ ⠀ My work is grounded in the exploration of justice, love, healing, decoloniality, hybridity, cosmopolitanism & self- and collective-empowerment. I believe that aesthetic practices have the power to build resilience & act as resistance to the status quo, thereby enacting an anticolonial practice through cultural production.⠀ ⠀ I have exhibited and performed my work internationally & my writing in English, French & Kreol has appeared in publications both online and in print. I have lived in far-flung places such as Pune, India & Peterborough, Ontario. ZOM-FAM, my debut poetry collection is forthcoming from @MetonymyPress, Sept 2020. ⠀ ⠀ *⠀ ⠀ Salut,⠀ ⠀ Je m'appelle Kama La Mackerel & je suis un·e artiste pluridisciplinaire, éducateur·ice, auteur·ice, médiateur·ice culturelle et traducteur·ice littéraire mauricien·ne, établi·e à Montréal. Je travaille entre et à travers la performance, la photographie, les installations, le textile, l’art numérique et la littérature. ⠀ ⠀ Ma pratique est ancrée dans l’exploration de la justice, l’amour, la guérison ancestrale, la décolonialité, l’hybridité, le cosmopolitisme et l’empowerment individuel & collectif. J'ai foi que les pratiques esthétiques ont le pouvoir d’agencer la résilience et d’agir comme résistance au statu quo, promulguant ainsi une praxis anti-coloniale à travers la production culturelle.⠀ ⠀ J'ai exposé et performé mes œuvres à l’international & j'ai publié mes écrits en anglais, en français & en kreol morisyen. J'ai vécu dans des villes disparates tel Pune en Inde et Peterborough dans l’Ontario. ZOM-FAM, mon premier recueil de poésie sera publié par @MetonymyPress en sept 2020.⠀ ⠀ #zomfam #qtbipoc #femme #trans #transgender #gay #lgbt #queer #artist #performer #writer #poet #performance #literature #queermtl #mauritius #montreal #transmontreal #lamackerel #kamalamackerel⠀ ⠀ Photo credit: @NedineMoonsamy (at Mauritius) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCI_okaADoI/?igshid=17uxn4ob8eqqo
