Rebecca Garrett’s three new video installations, Listen, The Impossible Dream, and Double Bewitched, are informed by her ongoing interest in themes of displacement, colonization and subjectivity. She has exhibited film, video, and photo-based installation art for over twenty years, five of which she spents as artist-in-residence at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe. Drawing on her lived experience of two distinct and geographically separate cultures, Garrett explores the significance of space and place in the formation of voice and identity.

Rebecca Garrett is a candidate for the degree of Master of Fine Arts at York University. Each year the AGYU hosts two thesis exhibitions of graduate students from York University’s Department of Visual Arts. These exhibitions, profiling some of York University’s leading artists, are an extension of the AGYU’s commitment to the development of Canada’s visual arts professionals.
