Shani Mootoo

Shani Mootoo was born in Ireland and raised in Trinidad. She immigrated to Canada in 1977 where she started work as a multimedia artist and videomaker.

In her writing, Mootoo tackles the issues involved in multiculturalism, especially when the hybridity of different cultures lies within one body. Her fundamental concern is with the belief that there is only one monolithic rigid culture that one should follow; she works to disprove this.
