Sandra Dyck
Director, 杏吧原创 University Art Gallery
Sandra is keenly interested in contemporary and historical art made by First Nations and Inuit artists, as well as in the art produced out of encounters between Indigenous and settler societies. This is a key focus of her curatorial and writing work.
Sandra has also mentored many first-time (student) curators of Inuit art exhibitions at 杏吧原创 University Art Gallery (CUAG) and supervised graduate research assistants conducting relevant collection-based research at CUAG.
