Art Bouman
Art Bouman is an African Nova Scotian, freelance writer, activist, based in Dartmouth. He is an arts graduate of Cape Breton University’s class of 2014, and after completing his degree spent time travelling to various places. He lived and worked in Germany, Argentina, Chile, Northern Ontario, and British Columbia. Art has developed friendships with people from various cultures. His travels and experiences have impressed upon him the importance of finding connections and similarities among all people; while acknowledging and respecting their differences. For Art the inspiration for a creative project or piece of writing comes out of this desire to understand and connect with what may seem different. He hopes that the viewer can walk away, seeing a perspective that they have either not fully understood or ever thought about.
