Join us in our studios for an artist talk by Rajni Perera. Gain insight into the depth and scope of Perera’s richly layered multidisciplinary practice. Light refreshments will be provided. Following the talk, Perera will offer a brief tour of her exhibition Futures in the Central Gallery. 

Rajni Perera was born in Sri Lanka in 1985 and lives and works in Toronto. Her work explores issues of hybridity, futurity, ancestorship, migrant and marginalized identities/cultures, monsters, and dream worlds. These themes come together to fuel explorations in a multimedia practice that includes drawing and painting, clay, wood, lanterns, new media sculpture, textile, and recently, synthetic taxidermy. Perera seeks to open and reveal the dynamism of the icons, beings, and objects she creates by means of a subversive aesthetic that counteracts antiquated, oppressive discourse, and acts as a restorative force.
