Emily Nestor (she/her) is an emerging artist and curator residing on Treaty Four. Both artistically and curatorially, she is driven by an interest in the intersections of care and labour. Her interests are derived largely from her upbringing in rural Saskatchewan. Through acts of archival intervention she considers notions of legacy and knowledge in the realms of domesticity and rurality. Within her practice inherited familial rituals and labour situate the domestic archive within broader understanding of queerness, community, and legacy.

 

Nestor has had the pleasure of serving in numerous positions across Regina’s art community, including roles with Neutral Ground Artist-Run Centre, Queer City Cinema, Nuit Blanche Regina,  Art Gallery of Regina, Fifth Parallel Gallery, University of Regina, and the Dunlop Art Gallery. She is a graduate of the  University of Regina, receiving a BFA with Great Distinction in Visual Art and a BA Honours with High Honours in Art History in 2022.
