Hannah Somers

Artist member since 2020
Toronto, Ontario

Hannah Somers is a Tkaronto/Toronto-based artist and curator. She has a completed BFA at Toronto Metropolitan University in Image Arts Photography Studies. Being a biracial woman of colour with a Caribbean heritage has influenced many of her investigations. Her work centralizes around the expression and discovery of identity, ethnicity and race. Understanding different relationships and histories of these themes are important in her process. Utilizing photography, video, collage and audio, she creates narratives within her fine art practice. She recently exhibited her work at Stephen Bulger Gallery and the Alliance Française Gallery and curated a group exhibition at the Artspace Gallery in Tkaronto/Toronto. Somers has a current exhibition at The Image Centre. Her work has been included in publications such as Filling Station Magazine and Public Parking Journal.
