About
Sanaa Humayun (she/her) is the child of Pakistani immigrants currently living and residing in Mohkinstsis, on treaty 7 land. She is an artist, writer, & curator, with a practice that thinks about non-narrative story telling, and the histories held within objects. Her art is a tender exploration of dominant narratives, and how they can be re-written in order to make space for herself and the people she loves. She primarily works in textile and paint, and is an avid weaver. Her most recent work has been shown at Mitchell Art Gallery, Latitude 53, and Khyber Centre, She is passionate about fostering community, through means of food, laughter, and an unapologetic love of gossip.
Along with Kiona Ligtvoet, Sanaa co-organizes Making Space - a peer mentorship group for early-career BIPOC artists.
