About Musings with Mona
Musings with Mona is a virtual diary and playground that I started in 2021 to prove to myself that I can take a creative idea from inception to execution. The diary comprises of 3 types of entries: **written pieces**, audio mixes and visuals. To muse is to reflect deeply on the mundane aspects of life, and to dramatize for the pleasure of being creative. We are storytellers and archivists, we can tell our stories the best.
About Mona
My name is Mona Monet, and I am a multidisciplinary artist and student based in Ottawa, Ontario. I have been fascinated with storytelling and the arts since I was a child, exploring writing, collaging, videography and drama. I chose to forgo any artistic practice to try and become a diplomat, but during the pandemic I realized that I need to spend less time trying to do what others expect of me and more time doing what connects me to my voice and my process. And there Musings with Mona was born. Currently, I am getting my Bachelor of Communication at the University of Ottawa, with a minor in feminist and gender studies. I have also added arts administration, research, music production, DJ'ing, and creative computing to the list of creative side quests that I am currently trying to integrate into my practice.
