Sanaa Humayun is completing a BFA at the Alberta University of the Arts, the Digital Program Coordinator at Latitude 53, Director of Coven Gallery, and an emerging visual artist residing in Mohkinstsis, trying to make art and make space for marginalized folks. She is involved in Latitude 53 & the Mitchell Art Gallery’s project Writing From Here, and is, along with Kiona Ligtvoet, co-founder of Making Space- a peer mentorship group for emerging visual artists that decenters whiteness. She has exhibited most recently at Marion Nicholls Gallery, Lowlands Gallery and Latitude 53. Her art explores themes surrounding her identity as a queer, fat, woman of colour, and her right to take up space without facing violence. She is a first generation Canadian attempting to navigate the complicated politics of existing between two worlds, and trying to understand a Canadian identity as a woman of colour. She is passionate about being an advocate in treaty 7 territory and fostering community, through means of art and conversation.
