The disembodied artist is free of reality’s concrete form; they question social logic and resist the ideological truths shaped by historical and current acts of social exploitation and violence.

Featuring emerging artists in the University of Waterloo Department of Fine Arts, Disembody explores the conceptual disembodiment as a liberatory method. In a variety of media and methods, the artists free their internal selves from the heteronormative and colonial norms perpetuated in popular culture. The curatorial vision emphasizes the artists’ ability to restructure given realities and put forward critical, inclusive and anti-colonial truths.
