Episode 2 - Manroop Bhogal

Curator Coleen Mariano interviews Manroop Bhogal. Bhogal is a fourth-year student at the University of Toronto Mississauga. In April 2020, Bhogal will be graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (Specialist in Art and Art History, Minor in Education Studies, Certificate in Curatorial Studies). In September 2020, he will be attending the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education’s (OISE) Master of Teaching Program. An artist working in graphite, he produces medium-to-large scale drawings that address sociopolitical issues in the past and present world, and personal experiences regarding person-of-colour identity. Combining his art practice with his interest in education, Bhogal employs advocacy and social justice frameworks to his work. Recent works serve as a platform for speaking on race-based issues of everyday life; namely, violence against minorities, police brutality, stereotyping, and most relevant to the artist, cultural dysphoria.
