Jennifer Brant
Jennifer Brant is an interdisciplinary artist whose research and material-based practice tries to concurrently experience, facilitate and chronicle interactions with the more-than-human world. She explores systems and relationships, marginalized spaces, complicated emotional states and futurity from the perspective of one who is queer, and of both settler and indigenous ancestry.
Using installations and interventions, field studies, textile and ceramic practices, writing, and drawing, she encourages and documents moments that bring an awareness of interconnection and kinship, gently interrupt passivity and cultivate alternative narratives to our current mythologies of progress and nature.
Born and raised in both the territory of the Tla-amin people, and the traditional, unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ /Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations, she divides her time between Vancouver and a small, off-the-grid island.
