Johnny Forever Nawracaj is a nonbinary Polish-born performance and media artist currently based in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal. Drawing on personal experiences of labour and loss, their practice builds metaphors around the precarity of social structures. Combining queer femme tropes with construction materials, their most recent work explores the relationship between the labouring body and the built environment.
Over the last fifteen years, Forever has performed and shown work internationally at festivals, galleries, museums and community spaces. They often collaborate with their partner, sound artist Gambletron, merging FM radio transmission with digital media to conjure surreal soundscapes, installations and performances. Forever’s work emerges from a dedication to research practice. They hold an MA in art history from Concordia University and an MFA from USC Roski School of Art and Design.
