Website

Alexandra Bischoff (b. 1991, Amiskwacîwâskahikan/Edmonton, AB) holds a Fine-Arts Diploma from MacEwan University (2012), a BFA in Visual Arts Studio from Emily Carr University of Art + Design (2015), and an MFA from Concordia University in Intermedia (2021). Bischoff’s artworks manifest as multimedia installations, sculptures, and writing; their artmaking processes as a whole are based in durational performance. While in residency at SAR, Bischoff has been researching family archives and Canada’s homesteading histories to investigate what it means to be a housing-insecure settler on stolen Indigenous land.
