Apprentice, Art Apprenticeship Network 2024

Coin Sluzalek is about to graduate with their BFA. Afterwards, they hope to serve their community. In their school work, Coin has explored the relationship between folk arts, traditional crafts, art institutions and archives through practices of papercutting, tapestry weaving and printmaking. Their choice of mediums reflects their desire to re-connect, through labour, with storytelling traditions rooted in collectively held knowledge of the land and of peoples’ history. They are currently working on building an archive of Palestinian-solidarty student activism at Emily Carr. Their ancestors are from the British Isles and Silesia.
