new employee

Oxygen Art Centre welcomes Eija Loponen-Stephenson in the position of Research Assistant!

Originally from Ymir BC, Eija Loponen-Stephenson holds a BFA in Sculpture and Installation from Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCAD U) and is currently completing her MA in Art Education at Concordia University in Montreal. Eija’s work is predominantly concerned with the relationship between human movement and urban space. Through practice-based artistic enquiry and experimental pedagogy she examines how this connection can reveal hidden power structures programmed into the built environment. She is looking forward to working alongside the Oxygen team as their newest research assistant for the remainder of the summer.

The position is generously funded by the Canada Summer Jobs program.

Welcome, Eija!
