About Jet

Jet Coghlan is an Autistic, Queer, Disable, Mad, Researcher and Performance Artist. They are a Latinex immigrant who is committed to care, sharing this earth that feeds, and combatting individualism and all selfish efforts to gain profit from the land.)

They believe it’s imperative to actively learn from Indigenous perspectives and restore our relationships to land and community. They continue to educate and immerse themselves with people and places that are undergoing the process of decolonization.

Despite the economic, physical, and psychological hardship of post-secondary education, they have demonstrated over the last decade their passion for knowledge and experimentation in several fields. Jet collaborates with York and McMaster University finding inventive ways to bring technology into marginalized communities within the City of Toronto and the GTA.

Jet celebrates their disable culture! Currently they work with Tangled Art + Disability researching accessible technologies. They embrace Crip Working class theatre and collaborate with Hamilton Fringe forging accessibility for BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+ and Disable artists. In addition, they are a consultant and research facilitator for Centre For Independent Living in the development of an Access Guide for non-profits advocating for disability equity and accessibility.
