The exhibition is curated by Erica Mendritzki, with assistance from Dr. Melanie Zurba of Dalhousie University.
Kuh Del Rosario (1980) is currently living and working in the unceded indigenous lands of Tiohtià:ke / Montreal, QC, Canada, of which the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation are the rightful custodians.
Del Rosario is a 2023 MFA Candidate in Sculpture & Ceramics Studio Arts at Concordia University.
Between 2017 and the end of 2019, Del Rosario lived in Batan, Aklan, Philippines where she ran Elmo’s House Artist Residency. Set in her ancestral home, the residency project was an integral part of her practice, which draws from personal history through the alchemy of everyday things. Del Rosario’s work explores truths filtered by memories, utilizing salvaged materials as the teller of stories.
Kuh Del Rosario is a Filipino-Canadian; born in Manila and raised in Calgary, Alberta. Del Rosario completed her BFA in Painting at the Alberta College of Art and Design in 2001. Before starting Elmo’s House Artist Residency, Del Rosario spent over a decade in Vancouver, BC, where she was involved in the administration and management of artist-run studio/project space, Dynamo Arts Association. She was also part of a curatorial team, SHIP based out of the Dynamo project space, as well as a member of CARFAC BC, which advocates for the legal rights of artists.
Kuh Del Rosario has exhibited across Canada in solo and group shows. Her past work includes installation, painting, video and performance, distilled from her sculptural art practice.
