Alexis Mitchell is a Toronto-based media artist and scholar whose videos and installations have shown at festivals and in galleries internationally. Her work uses architectures and objects to queer common understandings of ‘memory’, ‘place’ and ‘belonging’ in relation to contemporary politics and subject-formation. Mitchell received her Master in Fine Arts (MFA) in Film and Video Production from York University where her thesis video Camp won the award for Best Upcoming Director at the World Film Festival. Alongside her independent practice, she often works collaboratively to produce interdisciplinary works. Collaborations include: a commissioned video mapping project with Tori Foster for Toronto Pride entitled Queeropolis: Toronto 1972-2008, and an ongoing collaborative practice with Sharlene Bamboat, under the name Bambitchell. Their collaborations include Border Sounds, a performative sound and video installation for Toronto’s Nuit Blanche, An Objective Odyssey, a site-specific sculptural installation on frozen Lake Nipissing, and Silent Citizen, a participatory sound and video installation produced for the Images Festival. Alexis Mitchell is also a member of Pleasure Dome’s Programming Collective.
