Emilia Fart is a writer and video artist mainly found wandering an abandoned street in Montreal, Quebec. Through her career she’s amassed 80 million YouTube views and has been featured by Paper Magazine, Nylon, Insider, Refinery29, StyleLikeU, and MTV for her profound approach to video creation. Her work blurs the line between absurdity, philosophy, identity, and emotional exhibition. Emilia’s regular column in BUST Magazine dives into the chasms of humanity, tugs the threads of death, worthiness, and shame, and finds frayed hope at each end. While 1.3 million followers is a quantifiable statistic, the unquantifiable is far more important- her intent. She yearns to remind all of us that we are more free and capable than we know, that we are intrinsically connected, and at our core- the same. Ironic that this comes from a woman who looks like a lesbian, tulle-draped big bird with villain makeup and drag earrings glued to her shoes. Individuality complexes aside, she is regarded for her soulful and flamboyant creative voice. Whether she’s making salmon tartar in a public library, or writing poetry in the snow with fake urine- she finds a way to listen to the wind of her soul, and encourages us to do the same. A screenwriter, an autoharp player, a motivational speaker, a girl with a dream in her heart, a spark in her eye, and an inevitable belly button infection
