DAINESHA NUGENT-PALACHE

Dainesha Nugent-Palache is a Toronto based artist, writer, curator, and recent graduate of OCAD University—working primarily in photography, and video, often employing the use of perfomativity—Her practice is centred around themes of otherness, identity and representation, in relation to both femininity and the Afro-Caribbean diaspora.

Through the use of satire, pastiche and colour, Dainesha’s work is aesthetically tantalizing enough to pull viewers in, so that they may then consider the deeper layered complexities which exist within her work. All in all, it is Dainesha’s intent to provide documentation and commentary on twenty-first-century realities through visual narratives, for the sake of posterity.
