ABOUT

Cassia Powell is an artist-researcher currently located in Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh territories (Vancouver, BC). Often using surreal, personal, and speculative narative-driven subject matter, Cassia’s research explores the qualities of queer digital culture and histories through a counter-archival lens. These areas of inquiry are explored through a multi-disciplinary practice that includes drawing, painting, quiltmaking, and sculpture, as well as writing, publishing, and curation.
