Mary-Dora (MD) is a queer, non-binary millennial and second-generation settler of Italian descent and third-generation Danish, residing in Tkaronto (Treaty 13 territory). They show up in their community as a multi-disciplinary careworker and artist, practicing as a dancer, somatic therapist, doula, facilitator, and educator. Their care work centers on queer and trans-affirming embodiment practices and healing arts for a more livable future. Passionate about creating inclusive and brave spaces for equity-seeking communities, they employ abolitionist and liberatory praxis in their work. MD fosters neurodiversity and identity-affirming spaces to cultivate resilience, re-membering and transformation in those they serve. Drawing from their lived experience of survivorship, trauma, and neurodiversity, they weave together their artistic practice and carework as tools for community care and healing. Rooted in deconditioning colonialism and capitalism, MD's work prioritizes the politics of care, aiming to dismantle oppressive systems and promote collective well-being and community liberation.
