Winners and Losers alike, we have a gift for you! Here’s link to what we’ve been told is the song of summer. Agree or disagree? Either way, get ready for another round of Canada’s Top Art Lotto!!!!

ABOUT THE ARTIST + CAUSE:
Jess MacCormack’s practice engages with the intersection of institutional violence and the socio-political reality of personal trauma. Working in various mediums, from installation and video to community art, their art explores queer politics, mental illness, embodiment and criminalization.

Their animations have been screened internationally at festivals such as Ottawa International Animation Festival, MIX-26 the New York Queer Experimental Film Festival, Transcreen Amsterdam Transgender Film Festival, LA Film Fest at UCLA, Inside Out, Imaginative Film Festival and International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA).
