Moez Surani’s writing has been published internationally, including in Harper’s Magazine, Best American Experimental Writing, Best Canadian Poetry, and the Globe and Mail. His visual and performance works have been shown in Toronto at Theatre Passe Muraille, Nuit Blanche, YYZ Artists’ Outlet, and internationally at WhiteBox in New York, the Cross Gallery in Taipei, the New Zero Arts Space in Yangon, and the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Centre. He is the author of four poetry books, including Operations (Book*hug, 2016), which is comprised of the names of military operations, and reveals a globe-spanning inventory of the contemporary rhetoric of violence. Most recently, he has been working on Heresies, a collaboration with Canadian artist Nina Leo, and a group of international perfumers, to produce a line of custom scents that operate as lyric poems and express suppressed subjectivities. Heresies was part of a winter 2018 exhibition (curated by Lisa Deanne Smith) at the Onsite Gallery in Toronto. His debut novel, The Legend of Baraffo, was published by Book*hug in 2023.
