Germaine Koh will speak about her art practice and experiences presenting work in Lethbridge in 1997 and 2026.
Join us live on Zoom for this artist talk.
Germaine Koh is an artist and organizer whose work ranges widely across media. Her work adapts familiar objects, everyday actions, and common spaces to create situations that look at the significance of communal experiences and the connections between people, technology, and natural systems. Koh’s ongoing projects include the Slow Fashion Season events encouraging sustainability in textiles and clothing; the Home Made Home initiative to build and advocate for alternative forms of housing; the League project focused on play as a form of creative practice; and the Hemlock Micro Studio land-based artist residency. Koh received a Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts in 2023. She has served as a 2023-24 Shadbolt Fellow in the Humanities at Simon Fraser University and as the City of Vancouver’s first Engineering Artist in Residence in 2018-20. Since 2024 she is an Assistant Professor in Visual Art at University of British Columbia.
