| Abstract: |
Magie Dominic (1944- ) is a Canadian writer and artist. She studied at The Art Institute
of Pittsburgh, and was an influential member of the Off-Off-Broadway movement, performing
in and directing numerous productions at Joe Cino's Caffe Cino. Her 2002 memoir The Queen of Peace Room, an exploration of memory and violence against women, was shortlisted for the Canadian
Women’s Studies Award, ForeWord magazine’s Book of the Year Award, and the Judy Grahn Award. This collection consists
of an Acker Award presented to Dominic in 2017. The award honors members of the avant
garde arts community for outstanding contributions "in their discipline in defiance
of convention, or served their fellow writers and artists in outstanding ways." The
award itself is a small collection of artifacts contributed by the other New York
City award recipients as well as a copy of the annual Ackers "chapbook" which contains
photographs and biographies of all of the year's honorees.
