Aedan Corey is a writer, visual artist, and Inuit tattooist from Iqaluktuuttiaq, Nunavut. Author and illustrator of the chapbook Inuujunga (Coven Editions, 2021) and short story Unikkaannguaq (Nipiit Magazine, 2020), they began creating art at a young age. Aedan’s work is heavily inspired by their lived experiences as a queer Inuk. Their goal is always to inspire and advocate for those within their communities through their artistic practices, letting others know that they are not alone. Aedan currently resides in Ottawa on the unceded territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation with their partner and their two pets, Akla and Waffles.
