Ana Hoffner
In her art practice, Ana Hoffner analyzes moments of crisis, war and conflict in recent history and politics. Her performances, videos and photo installations seek to introduce temporalities, relations, and spaces in between established perspectives, memories of iconic images, and highly performative events. Hoffner employs means of appropriation such as restaging photographs, interviews and reports, as well as strategies of desynchronization.
Ana Hoffner completed the PhD-in-Practice program at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 2014. She has exhibited work at Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna; Secession, Vienna; and VOX Contemporary Image Center, Montreal, among others.

Sondra Meszaros
Sondra Meszaros’ work is concerned with representations of gender and female sexuality in relation to nature and fetishism. Through her collage-based practices, she aggregates and alienates depictions of women by introducing themes in the overall work, such as power dynamics or nostalgia, to dismantle and re-consider images. Taking cues from Dada and feminist collage as well as 19th century correspondence practices, Meszaros strives to research and articulate an expanded intimate archive that straddles different radical points in history.
Sondra Meszaros has exhibited work at Corkin Gallery, Toronto; Fortnight Institute, New York; and Jarvis Hall Gallery, Calgary, among others.
