Taylor Trudel & Trey Robinson
Indigenous Youth Artist-in-Residence
In collaboration with 7th Generation Image Makers and Dept. of Arts, Culture & Media
The 2021 Indigenous Youth Artists-in-Residence (IYAIR) program, are Taylor Trudel and Trey Robinson. With limitations imposed by COVID-19, the IYAIR program has been reworked to ensure both Trudel and Robinson participate in an educational and meaningful experience that is also safe for their health. This year, a mentorship program has implemented for the artists-in-residence to receive direct support and guidance from established artists and arts professionals including: Monique Aura, Shary Boyle, Patrick Cruz, Tony Gebrehiwot, Nyle Miigizi Johnston, Amy Lam, Daniella Sanader, Winnie Truong, and Juliana Zalucky. UofT Scarborough Studio faculty Alexander Irving and Sanaz Mazinani are providing further studio support through virtual visits.
