A writing workshop with Sam Petersen
Facilitator Bio
Hi, my name is Sam.
I go by the pronouns you/your. Or just call me Sam when referring to me. Always present.
I'm a power wheelchair user and I use AAC to communicate. And I'm Queer.
I am a visual artist, writer and performer.
I work with my identity, touching everyday feelings between the playful and the political. Of course, this is always to do with my disabilities. Focusing on access, and the lack of it — to places, people’s minds and opportunities.
My work is very much installation based, I like to permeate a space, make it my own, because I am not welcome in so many. I get inside, as much as I can, with myself and my fluids. I try to get inside your minds, and laugh, and scream.
I live on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung people of the Kulin nation. I pay my respects to Elders both past, present and future.
