About the Presenter:
Andrea Hoff (she/her) is an artist and writer whose practice takes multiple forms: projection, animation, comics, ceramics, sound, interaction, design, and performance. Her work centers on themes including neurodivergence, motherhood, other-than-human perspectives, and speculative world-building. Transdisciplinarity is integral to the way she works and to the work she produces. In working with and through multiple media, Andrea aims to explore the potential for new communities and narratives to arise—ones that move, multiply, and mutate across disciplinary boundaries.
For the past five years, she has been collaborating with teens to create comics about the future and working on a Ph.D. She holds a Masters in Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia (2015) and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Art (Honours with Distinction) from the University of Victoria (1999).
Art at Work is a series of professional development workshops designed for artists and arts organizations practicing in any artistic medium. The program is presented in partnership by the City of Richmond Arts Services, Richmond Public Art Program, and Richmond Art Gallery.
