Adrien Crossman is a queer and non-binary white settler artist, educator and curator currently residing on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples in Hamilton, Ontario. Crossman holds an MFA in Visual Art from the University of Windsor (2018), and a BFA in Integrated Media from OCAD University (2012). Their practice explores the affective qualities of queerness, and they are interested in the liminality between the digital and the physical, considering how the terms trans* and non-binary apply to media as well as gender. Crossman is a co-founder and co-runs the online arts publication off centre and is an Assistant Professor in the School of the Arts at McMaster University.

Our conversation was recorded in Hamilton within Treaty 3 territory on the ancestral land of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe nations under the Dish With One Spoon wampum agreement.
