Karin Bjornson is a writer and visual artist who lives and works in Tiohtià:ke/ Montreal. A published author and former student of Frank Chalk, she firmly believes in the power of creative expression as a means of transforming everyday thinking. Having witnessed an act of antisemitism in 2023, she remembered the animated public service announcements she saw on television in her childhood and was determined to build a project that could help young people to better recognize hate using short animation as a learning tool: afterall, HATESTiNKS!
