about

 

Mitra is a curator and accredited archivist interested in social movement histories and everyday sanctuaries. Mapping the legacies of colonial infrastructure and the resistance which has always followed ground and guide her work. Mitra is chair of the Whippersnapper Gallery board and was recently awarded the 2021 Middlebrook Prize for Young Canadian Curators and the 2023 Art Museum Curatorial Residency Award. She works with Mayworks Festival of Working People & the Arts and the Muslims in Canada Archives. In her spare time, she listens to music that emerges from Toronto; a since-always queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, and diasporic city.
