About the Curator: T. Bujold-Abu, TD Curatorial Fellow
Talysha Bujold-Abu (she/her) is a Ghanaian and French-Canadian illustrator, educator, and arts administrator currently residing on the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations in so-called Windsor ON. Bujold-Abu holds a Bachelor of Honors of Fine Arts (2016) from McMaster University, a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) (2018) and a Bachelor of Education (Bed) (2025) from the University of Windsor. In practice, both academically and studio-based, Bujold-Abu’s work centers on inviting play alongside critical inquiry, encouraging audiences and participants to reconsider belonging and visibility (terms that exist within multiple and shifting intersections of identity politic) through accessible visual storytelling – building connections between research, creation, and community.
