🔮 Snack Witch Joni Cheung 🍡 is a grateful, uninvited guest born—and knows she wants to die—on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, Stó:lō, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh peoples. They are a Certified Sculpture Witch with an MFA from Concordia University (2023). She holds a BFA with Distinction in Visual Art (2018) from the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University. As a wicked #magicalgirl ✨ who eats art and makes snacks, she has exhibited and curated shows, off- and online,  across Turtle Island and beyond. They love teaching as a sessional professor, albeit under precarious working conditions. Their practice is indebted to the friends, co-conspirators, and peers they've met on the stolen lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka and Mi’kmaq peoples at Concordia and NSCAD University.

A Grant Writing Gremlin, they’ve received numerous awards, including the Individual Arts Grants—Visual Artists: British Columbia Arts Council; Research and Creation Grant: Canada Council for the Arts; and the Dale and Nick Tedeschi Studio Arts Fellowship: Concordia University. She was waitlisted for the SSHRC - Joseph-Armand Bombardier: Canada Graduate Master’s Scholarship.

Aside from art-making, Joni likes wandering down grocery store aisles and drinking bubble tea. 🧋

NOTE: Don’t feed this Mogwai after midnight. 👹
