Originally from Chile, Olivia Rojas lives in Toronto, Canada. During her time in Canada, she has worked with diverse communities using popular theater and popular education methods. She has written, directed, and produced popular theatre and video productions. Her last funded project was A Legacy, a multidisciplinary photographic installation about the politics of breast cancer. At present, she is writing Awaken, a series of short stories about her mother. She writes a blog about her musings on old age and radically reframing aging. Her poetry is a gathering of lived experiences, rescued from the wreckage of the world and her life journey through it that ought to be expressed. Olivia writes as an authentic way to express herself.
