Aislinn Thomas (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice includes video, performance, sculpture, installation, and text. Many of her recent projects respond to disability and standard approaches to access–or the lack thereof. She gratefully works alongside and in the legacy of so many who treat access and survival as spaces for creative acts, experimentation, and pleasure. Aislinn lives in Unama’ki / Cape Breton, on ancestral and unceded Mi’kmaw territory.

Commissioned projects include A piece of cloth held taut curated by Crystal Mowry for the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery; As I am and as I become curated by Lauren Schell Dickens for the San José Museum of Art; and A distinct aggregation / A dynamic equivalent / A generous ethic of invention curated by Jacqueline Bell for the Walter Phillips Gallery at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. In 2023 she was longlisted for the Sobey Art Award.
