This exposition explores the experiences, struggles, challenges, and discoveries of an allophone within Canadian society. Through research-creation, I aim to illuminate the bittersweet nuances of bilingual existence in the contemporary art world. The text addresses not only language and translation in academia and art writing, but also examines how language can act as both a driving force and a barrier in the creative process—particularly in text-based artworks, book art, and socially engaged or community-based practices. Grounded in the principles of autotheory, this work draws on socio-political, environmental, and personal factors that have shaped and informed my artistic practice. Spanning from 2022 to the present, this research is an ongoing effort to reconcile the fragmented thoughts, ideas, and processes of research-creation as a bilingual researcher/creator.

What senses arise from sensing? How does sensing affect the processes of sense-making? How can the density of senses be navigated through writing?
This exposition retraces a specific sequence of thinking-in-the-making designed to address such questions in a collective workshop setting, where writing and sensing alternate in an iterative process.

This exposition presents a format designed for experiencing and experimenting with writing as a collective practice of weaving textualities from different sources.
The format consists of an iterative process to be implemented in a workshop setting. It is based on implementations that have taken place in different contexts in the fields of higher education and research in the arts, and is intented as an invitation to further adopt and adapt the format in transversal settings.
