Mina Shanmugalingam (they/them) is a Tkaronto-based
multidisciplinary artist with roots in Jaffna.
Mina weaves together motifs from their conservative Hindu
upbringing and experiences as a third-culture human to
draw readers into the truth of their shared humanity.
Outside of their writing practice, Mina is a professional
burlesque artist, an allergy-conscious cook, and a joy-
oriented coach.
