Elvira Hufschmid
Elvira Hufschmid is a queer migrant artist of European ancestry and a PhD candidate at Queen’s University’s Cultural Studies program, Kingston, ON. In her research, she applies an Aesthetic Transformation strategy to investigate settler narratives of colonial land enclosure. In 2020/21 and as a Doctoral Research Fellow at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, she facilitated a series of interdisciplinary workshops and conversations between artists and physicists, titled 'Understanding the World through Aesthetics', about the ways in which metaphor acts as a common code between the disciplines. Elvira has an extensive place-based conceptual drawing practice that emerges from a deeply felt (inter)-relationship with the living earth and a sensory approach of communicating with the other-than-human world. She holds an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, US, and taught as a Visiting Artist and a sessional faculty at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. Vancouver, BC, and as a Guest Professor for ‘Artistic Transformation Processes’ at the Berlin University of the Arts, Germany. For the 2022 term, she will engage in a Teaching Fellowship in the Film and Media Department at Queen's University, Kingston, ON.
