Rachel Rozanski (she/her)

As an interdisciplinary artist, Rachel Rozanski creates surrealist documentary pieces through the mediums of drawing, photography and video. Her creative research unravels cultural fantasies of restoration and repair in environments and in bodies, borrowing from scientific fields to trace planetary disablement through the study of air, sea and stone. Through residency projects in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Iceland, she has collaborated with researchers and has been inspired by studies of permafrost degradation, pollution, extinction and adaptations for the Anthropocene. Rozanski’s work as a PhD student and member of Access-in-the-Making Lab portrays the creative survival of people, plants and animals in both sick bodies and sick lands. Her work has been exhibited in galleries internationally and across Canada, including PAVED Arts, Circuit Gallery @ Prefix ICA, Two Rivers Gallery, the Âjagemô art space at the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Artspace Gallery for the CONTACT Photography Festival.
