Zaelí Kane is a multimedia poet with a background in stand-up comedy + interdisciplinary choreography.

Zaelí studied Art + Sociology at Goldsmiths University London and after completing her MA, enjoyed a private mentorship in Provence with the late peintre militaire and mythologist, Louis Frégier.

She has also enjoyed mentorship from Joanne Faryon of Columbia University’s School of Journalism, Kathy Scott of Dublin’s The Trailblazery, and James Lockridge of Big Heavy World.

Now living in the capital of Texas, Zaelí was one of Austin’s 2023 selections for the city’s Emerging Art Leaders program, which fostered her evolving relational aesthetics campaign, Hybrasil House, as well as her bilingual one-woman show, Away With the Fa*ries, both of which feature her long-time muse: the spiritual landscape of Irish identity.

Zaelí is currently focused on recording her first poetry album, in collaboration with some of Austin’s many exceptional audio producers.
