You are visiting Paola Poletto's projects in photography, drawing, writing and creative collaboration. Paola (she/they) is a multidisciplinary artist-curator born in Italy and based in Toronto on land that is Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg territory. Her independent work is rooted in social practice and site-specificity, experiential design, and a methodology inspired by feminist, queer and indigenous relational aesthetics.
I submitted this photo for an alumni exhibition at Western. We were asked to provide an image and a text or word that reflects on our grad school experience. My word is intuition, partly because it's how i always approach my work, including grad school, and also because i was really inspired by the Intuition exhibition at Fortuny Palace in Venezia this summer. I took this shot in The Dolomites, on the Seceda at 2500 meters.
