Genevieve Farrell (Moderator)
Farrell is an artist and curator currently based in Alberta. She holds a BFA major Art History from Concordia University and an M.A. in Cultural Studies and Curatorial Practices from the University of Winnipeg. Since September 2020, Genevieve has been working as a Program Manager/Curator for the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Traveling Exhibition Program which distributes exhibitions to non-traditional venues including libraries, school and senior centres across the province.
Genevieve grew up in five countries due to her parents work assignments and spent the other half of her life residing in various provinces of Canada, all of which led her to her interest in cross-cultural and intergenerational exhibition making. With a focus on emerging and underrepresented art practices, Genevieve deliberately and conscientiously employs inclusionary curatorial methods in order to bring diverse audiences and artists into dialogue together through contemporary art.
