Chloe is a Master’s student in the Art History and Visual Culture Program at York University. She holds a Honours Bachelor of Arts, with a double major in Art History and Criminology and Sociolegal Studies from the University of Toronto.
Her current research explores the works of contemporary Filipinx diasporic artists, particularly their utilization of ancestral materials and quotidian objects as a way to reflect and connect to the culture they have grown up away from. She seeks to investigate how the same objects could be transformed and reconstructed, and how materiality acts as a vessel for memory formation and knowledge production for many individuals. Furthermore, she aims to explore how these artistic choices represent the expression of different identities that arise from these diasporic experiences.
