Early life and education


Nawrocki was born in the East End of Vancouver to Polish/Ukrainian Canadian parents.[2] He attended Langara College and Simon Fraser University, and co-edited the university's newspaper The Peak. He left without graduating.


Career


In 1993, Nawrocki created I don’t understand women!, the first of several anti-sexist, sex positive, comedy cabarets on the topic of date rape, sexual harassment and violence against women.

In 2001, Nawrocki and Godspeed You! Black Emperor drummer Aidan Girt formed a duo called Bakunin's Bum, named after the anarchist philosopher Mikhail Bakunin.[3] Their recording, Fight to Win! was released in 2001 on G7 Welcoming Committee Records as a benefit for the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty and featured spoken word by anti-poverty activists over instrumental music.[4]

In 2004 he wrote, recorded and released his first solo album, Duck Work.

By the end of 2005 Nawrocki was teaching a course at Concordia University's School of Community & Public Affairs on The Arts, Radical Social Change and Community Economic Development.[5] As well as starring in Uncle Eddie's guide to art appreciation, by Donald Goodes.[6]

On 25 February 2010, Norman Nawrocki has signed, together with 500 artists, the call to support the international campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israeli apartheid.[7]
