About
Brit Bachmann is an artist, curator and cultural worker based in Vancouver and Burnaby, Canada, on unceded lands belonging to the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Kwikwetlem First Nations. Brit uses clay and atmospheric kiln alchemy to investigate the uncanny. Informed by traditional craft and ritual, her practice combines experimental ceramic forms, found objects, photography, and writing, in pursuit of the sublime.

She has previously worked for UNIT/PITT Society for Art and Critical Awareness, DOXA Documentary Film Festival, The Cinematheque, Discorder Magazine, and VIVO Media Arts Centre.
