ARTISTS
Ana Luisa Bernárdez Notz is a multidisciplinary artist and DJ fromVenezuela, residing in Toronto since 2015. Her image and installation based practice is currently rooted in the Venezuelan migrant crisis and collective sentiments of loss and longing. Her most recent projects look into body-land ties that are ruptured, paused and transformed due to migration and lack of physical proximity, focusing on her own experience being away from the landscapes she grew up frequenting. Ana Luisa holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from OCAD University 2020, and was recently a mentee in SurGallery's 2019-2020 Mentorship Program.
