Emilia White is an interdisciplinary artist specializing in object-based performance, fiber art and animation. She draws inspiration from early avant-garde movements such as Dada, Fluxus, and the Bauhaus Theatre, crafting humorous participatory performances designed to remove social barriers and foster inclusivity. Her projects use absurdity and autobiography to uphold feminist values and challenge patriarchal expectations.
Emilia has presented work throughout North America and abroad in Taiwan and Indonesia. She currently resides in Toronto, Ontario, where she is the Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator of Integrative Arts at York University School of Arts, Media, Performance & Design (AMPD). She holds an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design, and a BFA in Theatre & Original Works from Cornish College of the Arts.
