Kent Chan-Kusalik
Kent Chan-Kusalik is a mixed-race Chinese Canadian who is both trans and non-binary. Born and raised on unceded Coast Salish territories, Kent currently lives in New Westminster. Kent works in mixed media and digital art, drawing from Asian textile patterns and social justice themes.
“Family” has always had a dual meaning, both referring to the family you are born with and the family that you choose. As Kent has gotten older, “family” has taken on new meaning. Those who have faced the same struggles and adversity as Kent through life are also Kent’s family. This piece is a love note to Kent’s non-straight and non-cis siblings of every stripe and every background. “I love you, honeys.”
