Emily Reimer is an interdisciplinary artist based in Guelph, Ontario. Her work uses performance, drawing, and video to think about her relationships to herself and the people around her, often working in close collaboration with family members.

Our conversation was recorded in Tkaronto, on the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee, Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe, and Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nations.

This episode of Hopping the Fence contains use of a dated and derogatory term for sex-workers, as well as discussion of Catholic mythology.
