Ani received the Jean Royce Fellowship for the research and writing of her debut novel. Blending historical research and creative storytelling, the novel explores how everyday people survive and enable systemic violence. Drawing on her own family history in both the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust, the novel will try to humanize these events through the lens of ordinary lives while addressing questions of complicity, survival, and the social conditions that allow violence to take root. For nearly 20 years, Ani has fought for human rights in Canada and around the world. She recently left her senior leadership and communications role at Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights to focus on the project full time.  

Interdisciplinary artist Dr. Jill Price continues her research into UN/making as a creative act within her current exhibition, From There to Here: Walking for Tomorrow, which will be shown at the Art Gallery of Mississauga in May of 2026. For the exhibition, Price used detritus collected from a year of walking and cleaning beaches to create a multi-media installation of sound, video, assemblage, museological display, and text-based art. The intent of the exhibit is to draw attention to the variety of trash that threatens living bodies of land and water. The exhibition was shown at the MacLaren Art Centre, June–October 2025, located in Barry, Ont.
