BRIC is pleased to have Sara Jimenez, a Filipina-Canadian artist, as a Spring 2018 BRICworkspace Artist-in-Resident. Sara Jimenez illustrates her work by using performance, sculpture, drawing and installation, to explore relationships between material impermanence and trans-cultural memory. Concentrating on the idea of home, absence and origins; she uses the concept of finding one's identity through historical texts from cultural experiences. 

In fall 2017, collaborative duo Oneika Phillips and James Petrozzello won the "Viewer's Choice" award for their work, The Magdalena Series: The Truth Hurts, 2016, in BRIC's OPEN (C)ALL: TRUTH exhibition. Erin McDonald, a member of BRIC's Contemporary Art team, sat down with them to discuss the story of their collaboration, the meaning behind their work, and their artistic practices and process.
