Charlotte Koch

Charlotte Koch is an emerging scholar from Tkaronto/Toronto, Ontario. She graduated with distinction from the University of Toronto in 2022 with a major in Art history and minors in French literature and philosophy. She moved to Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal in 2022 to begin her Master's in Art History at Concordia University. Her thesis work marries her interest in art, literature, and philosophy by examining the politics of representations of women's pain in Paula Rego's series of paintings titled "Possessions I-VII" (2004). Her research more broadly focuses on the aesthetics of psychoanalysis, monumentality and history painting.
Her extensive involvement with Hart House and the Art Museum at the University of Toronto throughout her undergraduate degree have completmented the academic rigour of her programs. Charlotte hopes to continue her gallery work as while pursuing further academic study.
