Jessie Beier is an Edmonton-based teacher, artist, writer and conjurer of strange pedagogies for dark times. Working at the intersection between philosophy, artistic production, and radical pedagogy, Beier’s research-creation practice explores the potential for visual and sonic ecologies to mobilize a break from orthodox referents and habits of repetition, towards more eco-logical modes of thought. Beier completed a Masters Degree in Curriculum Studies in 2014 with the award-winning thesis project “Schizophrenizing the Art Encounter: Towards a Politics of Dehabituation”.
