BIO
Kimberly Edgar is a queer white settler living on Tr’ondek Hwech’in territory in the subarctic town of Dawson City, Yukon (Canada). An artist, cartoonist, illustrator, and designer, Kim is also chronically ill and uses comics to reflect on their experiences of both the medical system and the ennui that comes with being sick with no end. Their works have been nominated multiple times for Best Comic with the Broken Pencil Zine Award, and in 2019 they won that award for their comic The Purpose. They recently had one piece acquired by the Yukon Permanent Art Collection, and two pieces acquired by the Ottawa Direct Purchase program. They are the recipient of grants from Cue (2018), Canada Council (2019), and from On Yukon Time (2020).

“I’d like to thank Yukon Government and the On Yukon Time grant for funding the making of this project, KIAC and the Yukon Riverside Arts Festival for allowing me to show the works in progress, My partner Juneau, Ashton Nighthawk and Theo Young for your conversations about the title change, and obviously Erica of Moniker Press!!” — Kimberly Edgar
