“Clay is a living material that is constantly changing, it moves and builds with the surrounding elements. There are an endless amount of forms, shapes and characters that you can design.”
– Kendra Yee
Meet Kendra Yee
Kendra Yee is an arts practitioner based out of Tkaronto/Toronto. Yee pulls tales from personal history, lived experiences, and collective narratives to develop site-specific installations that carve new archives, seeking ways to materialize the truths and fictions of memory.
Yee has programmed and exhibited with: The Art Gallery of Ontario, MOCCA, The Roberth McLaughlin Gallery, Koffler Gallery, Gallery 44, OCAD U, Art Metropole, Xpace Cultural Centre, Patel Gallery, The Letter Bet, and recently collaborated with Juxtaprojects, an offsite gallery space in collaboration with Juxtapoz (NYC).
Yee is also the Director of Speech Project (est. 2018), a program for youth to explore personal narratives and the arts.
ARTSNACKS is a bite-sized video series that will help you learn and create at home. For each ARTSNACK, you’ll be given step-by-step instructions to a creative project designed by each artist, but like any good recipe, you can make adjustments according to your own tastes, availability of materials, tools, and needs.
