Regan Shrumm (they/them) is a queer, genderqueer, and disabled settler artist and curator currently based on the traditional and unceded lands of the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNE peoples (currently Victoria, BC). Born on the traditional territory of the Haudensaunee and Anishaabeg (Hamilton, ON), they grew up moving around the West and East Coasts of the United States. Shrumm received her MA in Art History and Visual Studies from the University of Victoria. Shrumm is interested in making the arts central to every level and aspect of society, as the arts allow us to understand, complicate, re-learn, and contradict truths about human experiences.
In these uncertain times in the arts and in life in general, bringing new ideas and worldviews is integral for survival. Through Sync Canada, I look forward to being in a collective of people with different backgrounds, but who are all trying to work within a disability justice lens. I cannot wait to learn and grow as a group to help better the arts.
