Rachel Rozanski
Rachel Rozanski is an emerging Canadian visual artist. She is an MFA candidate studying at Ryerson University in the final stages of her degree. Her practice has evolved to include contact images and video documenting melting permafrost in the North of Canada. Rachel and her partner and cinematographer Parham, drove across the Yukon documenting the changing landscape of Canada’s north.
Our conversation was recorded in Tkaranto, on the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee, Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe, and Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nations.
