About the artist:
Breanna Barrington is an artist based on Treaty 6 territory with a BFA from the University of Alberta (visual/performance art). Blending eco-sensibilities with a dash of whimsy, her work has exhibited at Marshall McLuhan’s childhood home, the Alberta Council for Ukrainian Arts, Mile Zero Dance, hcma Architecture, Alberta Craft Council, Bleeding Heart Art Space, the Works Festival, the Creative Arts Centre, Found Festival, Kaleido Festival, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an abandoned beehive near Fairview, Harcourt House, Latitude 53 and more. Although Breanna has been carving out a life in Edmonton over the past decade, much of her work is inspired by experiences growing up in and around Grande Prairie.
The exhibition “Worried Earth: Eco-Anxiety and Entangled Grief” is Curated by Erica Mendritzki, Assistant Curator Melanie Zurba.
“Worried Earth: Eco-Anxiety and Entangled Grief” is an exhibition of work exploring how worry about climate change and ecological collapse is seeping into our lives and dreams, mixing with other fears and anxieties, and entangling with personal experiences of loss.
The exhibition is supported by the New Frontiers in Research Fund.
Exhibition Sponsor: Aquatera
