They imagine performative scenarios that intertwine reflections on gender, class, labour, and embodied experience, drawing inspiration from stream of consciousness, vernacular narratives, intertextuality, and speculation. Drawing from their work experience in the community sector, their practice mobilizes the lived experiences and situated knowledge of the people and communities they work with, exploring how live art can engage in dialogue with community-based practices and harm reduction approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mgjt4lc3-81c482db0de49abdd64571073877afbb '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock ls-artiste-liens'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><a class=\"ls-artiste-lien ls-artiste-siteweb\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sarahchouinardpoirier.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a><a class=\"ls-artiste-lien ls-artiste-instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sarahcpoirier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/main><!-- close content main element --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_2'  class='avia-section av-ae4x90-e93fc6bd116d5fff51574bc00fe70633 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-6111'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mgjt3tha-f78727eb4b0f2b533b9fc300379bad71 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock ls-font-100'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 class=\"center\">JUDITH<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div class='flex_column_table av-95mzhw-2da48b0656f97dc5eb760a08fb85eb37 sc-av_one_full av-equal-height-column-flextable'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-95mzhw-2da48b0656f97dc5eb760a08fb85eb37\">\n.flex_column.av-95mzhw-2da48b0656f97dc5eb760a08fb85eb37{\nwidth:100%;\nmargin-left:0;\n}\n#top .flex_column_table.av-equal-height-column-flextable.av-95mzhw-2da48b0656f97dc5eb760a08fb85eb37 .av-flex-placeholder{\nwidth:0%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-95mzhw-2da48b0656f97dc5eb760a08fb85eb37 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_full  ls-font-28 first flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mgjt1cla-27f74954e403d6cb75ddb67a29149a29 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock ls-deux-colonnes-suivi'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is this other, whose consciousness has been evacuated from the body, whose blood and teeth we fear?

Drawing from their community and activist work with people who use drugs, Sarah seeks to awaken their dead, so that they might gnaw at the hygienist, racist, and classist biopowers that govern substances and bodies. Through humour, quotation, confession, and embodiment, the artist interrogates the language and metaphors of the undead, revealing how these imaginaries are used to monetize fear of the Other in the context of the war on drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
