Veronica Spiljak (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Mississauga, the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe First Nations. She completed her BFA at the University of Toronto Mississauga in 2021. Spiljak combines text, sculpture, textile, writing, video, installation, and performance to create artworks that facilitate collaborative, tactile and immersive experiences. She borrows found archival footage, objects, photos, audio clips, words or phrases that weaves her experience as a first-generation Polish-Canadian woman. Spiljak has exhibited locally, including shows at the Blackwood Gallery, U of T Art Museum, Women’s Art Association of Canada, the Tiny Fist Gallery, Propeller Gallery and Visual Arts Mississauga. She is currently a candidate for her MFA at York University. As a first-generation Polish-Canadian woman, her work indicates the personal grief left behind in childhood trauma, family dynamics within the home, the ritualization of religion, women’s labour within domestic-like spaces. Spiljak recreates these site-specific ephemera to primarily ask how can the idea of space and language bring up familiarity, intimacy or memory? In what ways can recreating, assembling, manipulating ephemera be used as a tool for resistance?
