Selected Artist

Location: E Main St & Alexander St, Rochester, NY

Kristy Boyce is an award winning Canadian photographer, based in Toronto and New York.

Boyce's work focuses on social and human rights issues; often drawing upon themes such as sexuality, identity and gender performance, Boyce’s explores society’s “others”; those made other by the facts of their very nature, those that are set apart from accepted ideas of normativity and cultural configurations such as “male” and “female,” and “right” or “wrong.”

She received an MFA in Digital Futures at OCAD University where she specialized in immersive video, pedagogical making, and multimedia experiences. Boyce also has a B.F.A in photography from Ryerson University and is currently interested in collaborative processes involving decolonization within the arts. She has a commercial portrait photography and fine art practice. She is currently a tenure track professor at Rochester Institute of Technology.
