Dana Prieto
artist, researcher, educator



I am a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and researcher, born in Buenos Aires and based in Tkaronto. My site-responsive practice manifests in installation, performance, writing and diverse collaborations. My work dives into the social, political, and chemical ties that connect us to the land where we stand.

I hold a Master of Visual Studies from University of Toronto, and my work has been presented in national and international galleries, public spaces and informal cultural venues. Recent commissions include: Footnotes for an Arsenal, at the 2022 Toronto Biennial of Art curated by Candice Hopkins, Katie Lawson, & Tairone Bastien, and Caementarium, at the 2023 Nuit Blanche, Humber Lakeshore Campus, curated by Lillian O’Brien Davis.

 I am a founding member and facilitator at SHEEEPschool, a collective dedicated to creative and critical spatial practice. Part of my work focuses on learning from and cultivating radical learning communities that are building more just environments.

As a Research Associate for Finding Flowers (EUC York University), I work closely with Anishinaabe artist, curator and professor Lisa Myers, studying contemporary Indigenous art practices and their work revitilizing language and plant ecologies. We recently launched Sounds Like Land, a podcast broadcasting seeds for Indigenous languages.

My site is under construction. Message me if you want to chat or collaborate on something: info@danaprieto.com or IG.
