Where art intersects with justice, culture, and community
​
Nova Arts Hub is a creative space where you can dream, heal, reflect, and resist. We’re dedicated to bringing together individuals from cultures that have historically been oppressed, using art as a tool to explore new paths toward cross-cultural liberation. For artists, innovators, activists, and community organizers, we welcome you to weave our visions of liberation together.

A Kiss for Freedom
“Kisses for Freedom” opens us up to the diverse ways that decolonial love can look, as well as the hidden parts of it that often go unnoticed. This series of artworks is the manifestation of the artist’s experiences over the last four years as she explored all the elements of her life through the lens of decolonial love. In this collection, we are encouraged to deconstruct and reimagine the ways that our relationships, identities, and communities function. Each artwork in this collection invites the audience to transform love for themselves and recognize it as a tool for liberation.
Ancestral Glitch
Imagine a glitch where this world and the spiritual world are undivided. This series invites us to envision this glitch and to see into worlds where our ancestors may be walking alongside us. It encourages us to imagine a reality where the boundaries between the physical and spiritual realms are blurred, and we can connect more deeply with the wisdom of our ancestors.
Public Space Exhibition:
Royal Oak Shopping Centre
Art is meant to be free, breathing, and apart of our every day lives. As an artist, I have been heartbroken by the gatekeeping and control that goes into the art sector- especially when it comes to Indigenous art. In collaboration with Haunsbraun Investments, the Royal Oak Shopping Centre is now filled with artwork to inspire and reflect on. As you walk through the space, I encourage you to look for my artwork and be a witness to the art’s stories.
