Alessandra Abballe is a lens-based artist whose work explores notions of identity and belonging, specifically through queer and feminist perspectives. In this talk, Abballe will discuss the progression of their work, All but absent from history, and its roots in revisionist art practices, annotation, and autodidacticism. Abballe will consider how libraries have, and continue to be, integral to their artistic practice as radical spaces anchored in notions of learning, community, and belonging.
Alessandra Abballe (they/she) is a lens-based artist residing on the unceded traditional territories of the qiqéyt (Qayqayt) and xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) First Nations. They hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography Studies from Toronto Metropolitan University and is currently a Fine Arts Instructional Associate in Photography and Digital Media at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Their practice is rooted in their desire to use art as a means of continued learning, inquisition, and disruption, often investigating notions of hegemony through the process of research and making. Informed by photography, their practice includes video, archival and vernacular imagery, needlework, and text.
