Connie Oreamuno is a queer, Chilean Toronto-based new media artist. She is drawn to dream states, ethereality, colour, surrealism, and how different worlds and practices can intersect. Influenced by her dance background, she is interested in how movement and digital mediums can merge. Her work has been featured in Festival of Recorded Movement, The Textile Museum of Canada, Geary Art Crawl, IC Contemporary’s Noxte, Lore Magazine and she is currently a board member at Charles Street Video. She has primarily worked with projection design and mapping for installations, theatre, film, concerts and event production.  

Whippersnapper Gallery provides emerging artists and cultural workers with a platform to expand the parameters of their practice and develop ethical, rigorous relationships with communities, particularly racialized, queer, disabled and working class people. Located at the edge of Kensington Market and Chinatown, Whippersnapper offers space to experiment and confront displacement in the ever-gentrifying urban core in which the gallery, viewable from the street 24/7, is situated. A non-profit artist-run centre, Whip is structured to encourage peer-to-peer mentorship and create innovative programming that catalyzes social transformation.
