Artist Talk: Sandra Brewster

Join Visual Arts on Thursday, March 6 at 6:00 pm ET for an artist talk by Sandra Brewster in Conron Hall.

This is a public, free, and hybrid event.

Sandra Brewster is a Canadian artist based in Toronto. Her work employs a range of media to engage concepts of movement that express an internal relationship with identity. Her practice is grounded in people of the Caribbean diaspora, who maintain a relationship with back home. Born to Guyanese parents, she is interested in a multilayered sense of being made up of a collision between geographies and temporalities. She expresses these complexities via the unfixed nature of her work’s materiality and presentation.

Notable exhibitions include the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Los Angeles, USA), Remai Modern (Saskatoon, Canada), the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto, Canada), Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (Chicago, USA), Les Rencontres d’Arles (Arles, France), The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery (Toronto, Canada), Kenderdine Art Galleries (Saskatoon, Canada), Art + Practice (Los Angeles, USA), Leonard & Bina Art Gallery (Montreal, Canada), Hartnett Gallery (Rochester, USA), Or Gallery (Vancouver, Canada) and Lagos Photo Festival (Lagos, Nigeria). Her public sculpture, “A Place to Put Your Things,” is currently on view at the Harbourfront Centre in Toronto. Brewster is the 2024 Paul de Hueck and Norman Walford Career Achievement Award recipient.
