Lorna Boschman is a media artist who shares unique perspectives from within social justice struggles. From her earliest documentary Scars (1986), through collaborations with Vancouver artists Kiss & Tell (1992-2002), the self-advocate community (2000, 2006), and digital storytelling mentorship supporting a lesbian living with metastatic cancer in just being (2015), Lorna’s provocative experimental documentary filmmaking has illuminated numerous hidden stories beneath visible layers. Talking Poles (2009-2010) incorporates community-based personal narratives about the future into an interactive public art installation in south Surrey. In recent years, curated programs of Lorna’s work have appeared as exhibitions (Milan 2014) and theatrical programs (Brussels 2014). At the 2011 Panorama of Quebec and Canadian Video, 29 Festival International Du Film Sur L’Art, in Montréal, Boschman was a featured media artist. Lorna Boschman holds a PhD (2012, SFU) and MA (2007, SFU) in Interactive Arts + Technology and BFA (2005, ECADU) in Film/Video.Lorna Boschman, 2024
