Franz Seachel is a South-Asian multidisciplinary artist and settler residing on unceded Coast-Salish lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmaɁɬ təməxʷ (Musqueam) nations. Franz has a B.A. in Creative Writing from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. She is the Founder/ Executive Director of Enable: Arts Society, a nonprofit that supports community-based and collaborative art projects by emerging and/or marginalized voices. Her work has been featured at events and festivals across so-called Canada, and she's currently working on her debut novel among other multidisciplinary projects. Franz is a creator of space. She believes art creates genuine connections. Art makes living bearable—she does her best to put more colour into the world, both by brightening up the mundane with creation, and in her mission to uplift the truths of marginalized bodies. Franz hopes you dream often; she hopes you find reasons to stay. Follow her on Instagram @franz_seachel.
