Lauren Prousky & Orly Zebak

Lauren Prousky is an artist, curator, writer, and arts administrator based in Kitchener-Waterloo. She received her MFA from the University of Waterloo and her BFA from Concordia University in studio art and English literature. Lauren’s current work involves doing a lot of Sudoku puzzles, trying to paint the concept of distance, and creating sculptures and fiber works that explore the aesthetics and linguistics of cultural Judaism. She has exhibited her work around Canada, occasionally elsewhere, and has done residencies in Iceland, British Columbia, and Brooklyn. Earlier this year Lauren completed a contract as the assistant curator of Gallery Stratford and once co-curated a poetry and performance event in a public pool.

Her work seeks to challenge conceptions of female performativity in relation to womanhood, girlhood, and coming of age stories. In her spare time, you can catch Orly gardening—usually in her very comfortable off-brand crocs. Orly earned her M.A. at the University of Toronto in Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies.
