EDWARDS, Claudia

Launches February 18, 2026

Claudia Edwards is a Toronto-based performance artist of Indo-Guyanese and British descent. Conceptually driven, their work explores colonialism, identity and grief, often through the vocabularies of embodiment, absurdism and the queer trickster tradition. Edwards’ practice spans relational performance, experimental dance, photography, video, text and object-making. They have created works for FADO Performance Art Centre, Rhubarb Festival, BUZZCUT (Glasgow), Flux Factory (NY) and more, and presented performances and workshops in festivals and galleries across Canada, the US, the UK, and online. This fall, they will be performing at the 2025 ViVA performance art biennial. Curatorial works include HOTWIRE, a live art series featuring QTBIPOC artists hosted by Hub14, and serving on the Rhubarb 2020 curatorial collective. Edwards holds a BFA from Concordia University (2016).
