Artist Bio:

Anneke Dresselhuis is a learner and artist of mixed Dutch and Scottish-Ukrainian descent currently based on unceded Coast Salish territories. Their interdisciplinary, research-based art practice examines how our bodies experience the abstraction of living in information economies.

Engaging with the growing confluences of epistemic imperialism, neo-colonial power relations, human exceptionalism and technological determinism being conjured in this contemporary moment, Anneke’s practice is concerned with querying and queering dominant knowledge systems that hold us back from embracing and seeing each other in our multiplicity. Anneke’s artistic and community work is driven by a commitment to honouring, learning from andintegrating diverse ways of making and sharing knowledge.
