about

 

Mitra (she/her) is a curator, Geography & Planning master’s graduate and almost-accredited-archivist interested in sanctuary and indebted to border abolition. 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 part-time 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.
