Kristen Sison is a Filipina woman born in Scarborough, Toronto on Dish With One Spoon Wampum Treaty Territory. She is a community archivist + artist-healer in the community arts and climate justice realms, storytelling ways of embodying reverence.
A founding member of grassroots groups Kapwa Collective, Conscious Minds Co-operative, and Rooted and Rising, she has been devoted to co-creating intergenerational spaces for decolonization and deep listening to commune with the sacred. With 15 years spent witnessing the evolution of these alternative community spaces, she walks with the knowing that we *can* and are re-imagining and living into thriving, joy-filled futures.
Sometimes her work takes the shape of community publications: in 2016 she edited and self-published Womxn, about reclaiming our power and stepping into our sacred responsibilities to land and water. In 2021 she edited and self-published It’s Bigger Than All Of Us, featuring the work of 50+ BIPOC creators reflecting on their path to wholeness. In the Spring of 2023, she designed Filipinx/a/o Farmers and Earthworkers in Tkaronto, a zine about Filipinx/a/o food sovereignty in Tkaronto, and what it means to be farming and earth working on Indigenous lands.
