BioArt in Canada

BioArt in Canada is a research-group-in-residence within Art/In Forum.

Led by Dr. WhiteFeather Hunter, BioArt in Canada aims to map and gather together information on bioart practitioners, laboratories, residency programs, and institutional networks across Canada.

BioArt in Canada considers how bioart intersects with biotechnology, microbiology, biofabrication, and ecological practices. Preliminary goals include identifying gaps, barriers, and inequities in access to resources and infrastructure, as well as examining the ethical, political, and cultural dimensions of working with living systems.

Overall, this initiative led by Dr. Hunter will situate Canadian bioart practices within broader international contexts.
