Artist in residence

Claudia Edwards

On 1 April 2023 by

Claudia Edwards is a performance artist based in Toronto, Canada. Of Indo-Guyanese and British descent, their work explores issues of identity, memory, queerness, power, and decolonization, often through the vocabularies of embodiment, absurdism, and the queer trickster tradition. Their approach is conceptually driven, spanning relational performance, experimental dance, photography, video, text, and objects.

Curatorial works include HOTWIRE, a live art series featuring QTBIPOC artists hosted by Hub14, and serving on the Rhubarb 2020 curatorial collective. Edwards holds a BFA from Concordia University Montréal, 2016. They have created works for FADO, Rhubarb Festival, Glasgow BUZZCUT, Flux Factory and more, and have presented performances and workshops in festivals and galleries across Canada, the US, the UK, and live online.
