Instructor: Maria Patricia Abuel @mpabuelstudio

Maria Patricia Abuel (she/her) is a Toronto-based Filipinx multidisciplinary artist, community worker, and arts and culture educator and administrator. Her practice questions issues of hybrid identity, femininity, and conservative cultural expectations, with a preference of using playful irony and focusing on family history, memory, pop culture, and the body. She has focused mostly on performance and video art, but also works with drawing, collage, painting, and photography. She is always looking to expand her practice by experimenting with different mediums —with graphic design, photogrammetry, and VR as her latest explorations.

This event is in partnership with Workman Arts as part of COMMUNITY+Connects Programming. More information is provided through this link and to REGISTER go to this link.
