    Artist

    Heather Kai Smith (Canadian, b. 1988) is an artist from Calgary, Alberta, currently living and working in Vancouver. Rooted in drawing as a practice, her work includes animation, illustration, and printmaking. Recent bodies of work engage with legacies of feminist protests, such as the Seneca Women’s Peace Encampment (1983-94). Through hand drawing and installation, Smith seeks to activate historical, archival images as a way to rearticulate revolutionary desires and activism in a contemporary context. Smith completed her MFA at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2017, and graduated with a BFA in Drawing from the Alberta College of Art and Design in 2009, Calgary, AB.
