About
Kitt Peacock is an artist-researcher from O’odham Jeweḍ (Tempe), currently working on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ nations. Their practice is centred around the creation and maintenance of trans worlds, and considers how violent conditions can be redeployed as the very material of trans life. Their current work with the
Centre for Near Life Research forges alliances with non-living relations—contaminated waterways, lethal algae blooms, and sites of harm—in order to discover new strategies of community resistance.
They hold an MFA from the University of British Columbia (2023) and a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design (2019). Their work has appeared in exhibitions at MoMA PS1 (New York), Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin), and the Museum of Contemporary Art (Tokyo). Kitt is the Artistic Director of Access Gallery, an artist-run centre in Vancouver.
