Image Description: A white-passing indigenous boy looks to the left side of the photo, away from the camera. A deep red background sits behind him. There is a neutral, content expression on his face. He has pale olive skin, and black wavy hair cut into a mullet with blonde streaks. He wears a black turtleneck with a gold pendant overtop. He ears diamond-shaped black beaded earrings with a white beaded moon in the middle.
Jack Hawk (he/him) is an arts worker, consultant, curator, and astrologer, whose practices of activism, arts work, and divination are rooted in decolonial disruption, disability justice, and queer liberation. He operates from a place Donna J. Harraway describes as "staying in the trouble"—building provocative futures within the troubled waters of the present. Currently, Jack works at Tangled Art + Disability as Outreach Coordinator; he curates Tangled’s vitrine exhibition space, and has led several large-scale projects to connect and support artists and arts practitioners. He is also a leading relaxed performance consultant, counting the Stratford Festival, Grand Theatre, Buddies in Bad Times, and Tarragon Theatre among his many clients. Hand-in-hand with his work in activism and the arts, Jack has been a practicing astrologer for eight years, of which he has derived much of his praxis from his long-term mentor Julia Wawrzyniak-Beyer.
