Maegan Beck
Maegan Beck (she/her) is a writer and interdisciplinary artist based in Tiohtiá:ke / Montréal. Particularly drawn to the lingering tensions of memory across bodies and gestures, her work asks how we hold onto what is no longer here—highlighting how attention, care, and embodied knowledge make absence felt, legible, and luminous.
Several of the works in this issue consider how the domestic is shaped not only by private life but also by global currents, family histories, and consumer goods, nudging at the conditions that shape how we live, where we live, and with whom we choose to share our lives.
