Jana Omar Elkhatib's performance in Artery gallery
In her interview Writing Performances, Razan Samara converses with University of Waterloo Fine Arts student Jana Omar Elkhatib over several months discussing a series of recent performative works that Jana developed during her residency at Hamilton Artists Inc.

"It was a coincidence that I met Elkhatib right as she started her residency at Hamilton Artists Inc. (also known as The Inc.), but it took a conscious commitment to spend the next seven weeks with her—learning more about performance art, her work and her aspirations—all while trying to find the right words to describe her process and her practice."
