| Teresa Ascencao is a photo/video based artist whose
work deals with gender constructs through unique cultural perspectives
and technological approaches. Her poetic and kitsch artworks explore the
effects of tradition and pop culture on gender constructs and often seduce
the viewer through out-of-the-ordinary interactivity. Ascencao teaches
digital photography and video at the Toronto School of Art and through
Ontario Arts Council Artists in Education Program at various elementary
schools. |
