Sandra Brewster is a Canadian artist based in Toronto whose work employs a range of media to engage concepts of movement that express an internal relationship with identity. Her practice is grounded in people of the Caribbean diaspora, who maintain a relationship with “back home”. Born to Guyanese parents, she is interested in a multilayered sense of being made up of a collision between geographies and temporalities. She expresses these complexities via the unfixed nature of her work’s materiality and presentation. Sandra’s work has been featured internationally. Recent group and solo exhibitions have been held at Remai Modern (Saskatoon), Art + Practice (Los Angeles), Kenderdine Art Galleries (Saskatoon), Art Gallery of Guelph, Leonard & Bina Art Gallery (Montreal), Les Rencontres d’Arles – Méchanique Générale, Hartnett Gallery (Rochester), The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery (Toronto), OPTICA, centre d’art contemporain (Montreal), MCA Chicago, Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Gallery of Ontario, Or Gallery (Vancouver), Rajko Mamuzic Gallery (Novi Sad), Lagos Photo Festival.Sandra Brewster is a recent residency fellow of Artpace San Antonio, Loghaven Artist Residency in Knoxville and Sacatar Brazil. She has been awarded the Gattuso Prize for outstanding featured exhibition of CONTACT Photography Festival 2017, the Toronto Friends of Visual Arts Artist Prize in 2018, a finalist for the 2023 Scotiabank Photography Award, and the recipient of the prestigiousPaul de Hueck and Norman Walford Career Achievement Award in 2024. Sandra received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from York University and a Masters of Visual Studies from the University of Toronto.
