Interdisciplinary

“As a multidisciplinary artist, my work seeks to reveal and surface hidden details and events nottypically discussed in Ontario’s high school history curriculums. I utilize archival images withother mediums such as multimedia, installation and Augmented Reality to create themes andtopics of policy reforms and decolonization within my research. Through the process of A/R/Tography, my work aims to critique the provincial and federal governments’ lack of educationalreforms and lack of minority and marginalized representations within their mandated history textbooks.”
