Carmela Laganse is an artist and Associate Professor in the School of the Arts at McMaster University. Laganse’s practice engages with intersections of embodied experience and perception as well as exploring the agency embedded in objects and environments. Her work explores the impact of colonialism, diasporic communities and considers how these things contribute to material culture and identity. Working in a variety of media, she often builds interactive work or portable, modular environments that playfully and critically integrate physical, emotional, ritualistic, and intellectual processes through an intersectional lens.
