Lillian O’Brien Davis is Associate Curator at MacKenzie Art Gallery. Lillian was previously Curator of Collections and Contemporary Art Engagement at the Goldfarb Gallery of York University.
Lillian’s research interests are motivated by a broader, social momentum to redress power imbalances and historical erasures within contemporary art. Her practice follows pathways of research that explore the shifting nature of identity and consciousness, investigating experiences pertaining to the racialized or feminized “Other”—experiences often couched in secrecy, hidden from view or deemed too trivial for official record
Lillian has a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and English Literature from University of Toronto, University of St Michael’s College and a Master of Visual Studies and Curatorial Studies from University of Toronto, John H Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design.
