Artist Bio's:

Faki Kuano was born in Sudan in 1992. Kuano’s family is one of many that were forced to flee from their original home, seeking refuge from civil war. A self taught artist, his work deals mostly with trauma, love, tradition, fantasy and culture, through the lens of surrealism and abstraction.

Sarah Cheon is an Ontario-based Grade 11 high school student, of Korean heritage, attending Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute. She enjoys using acrylic paint on canvas and wood panels, as well as watercolour, digital painting, and charcoal. Her process often involves layering, building up, and covering, especially with acrylic. Often inspired by music in her visual arts practice, her goal as an artist is to create art that can inspire others to create.

Ashley Guenette is a Franco Ontarian artist from rural Northern Ontario. Her recent work draws from algorithmically – generated social media content in order to reveal their hidden forms of oppression and reframe them in critical, feminist contexts. Using analogue methods to interpret digital content, her drawings, paintings and multiples challenge aesthetic conventions of painting while engaging in an ongoing dialogue with its histories. Guenette holds an MFA from the University of Waterloo.
