“This June 2026, Dr. WhiteFeather Hunter joins Art/In Forum as our inaugural Knowledge Partner in artistic intelligence, as well as our first research-group-in-residence…

WhiteFeather and her research group will be mapping bioart practitioners, laboratories, residency programs, and institutional networks across Canada, while analyzing how bioart intersects with biotechnology, microbiology, biofabrication, and ecological practices. This work will include identifying gaps, barriers, and inequities in access to resources and infrastructure, as well as examining the ethical, political, and cultural dimensions of working with living systems. In doing so, WhiteFeather will situate Canadian bioart practices within broader international contexts.

Through partnership with Art/In Forum, BioArt in Canada hopes to create new opportunities for artists, researchers, and organizations working at the intersections of art, science, and technology to find one another, to share knowledge and strengthen our networks that support this work across Canada.”
