Kitt Peacock
Kitt Peacock is a printmaker and a bread-maker. Their interdisciplinary work moves through archival space, and reflects on the way cultural violence is introduced and perpetuated through Western archival forms. Combining archival reflections with bread in its capacity a cultural signifier, their practice confronts the ways in which Romani culture has been depicted by the Western archive for hundreds of years. The fortune-tellers and thieves, the concentration camp victims and witch archetypes are missing here, or recontextualized, or changed completely, towards a new Romani archive.
Kitt Peacock studied at Concordia University in Montreal (2015-2017) before receiving their BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver (2019). Their most recent solo show, please hold these for my hands are full, took place at 534 Pender (Vancouver) in 2018. Presently, they live and work on the unceded, traditional, and contemporary territory of the Coast Salish peoples.
