Un_form at Stride Gallery

Femme Wave's 2016 visual arts programming is an exploration of femme identities in their many forms, pluralities, and understandings. Aiming to be inclusive and intersectional in both politic and approach, this programming endeavors to shift binary thinking. Clear traditions and understandings become murky, without boundary, and offer reprieve from any single meaning or expression of what it means to be femme.

Natalie Stevenson is a mixed media artist living and attending school in Calgary, Alberta. Her work focuses around her own experiences as a woman and negotiating the implications around her experiences. She is currently working towards her BFA at the Alberta College of Art + Design with a major in drawing.

Megan Gnanasihamany is an interdisciplinary artist based in Edmonton, Alberta. She completed her BFA from the University of Alberta in 2014 and since then has been honing her skills as junior arts administrator while making work both individually as well as with local sport-themed collective, Tennis Club. Megan spends her leisure time exploring the joys of vegan cooking, biking across bridges, and listening to Carly Rae Jepsen.

Felix A Tuba was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, a small rural city with a smaller town attitude. They left that small town and never intend on going back. A love of Camp, 80’s horror and 3am cartoons shaped them in the things that they create. Mainly working in video and installation, Felix’s work focuses on their queer identity and the many ways that it intersects different parts of their life.
