Emily De Boer (she/her) is a disabled artist, athlete and activist from Richmond BC. She holds a Master of Fine Arts (2024) and BFA (2022) with a major in Critical and Cultural Practices from Emily Carr University. As well as the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification (2025) through the University of Alberta. She is an interdisciplinary artist working with chance, various methods of printmaking, analog and digital photography, installation, sculpture and collage to respond to her environment. With a contemporary approach to worldbuilding Emily engages chance, glitch theory, the disability concept to misfit, her embodied knowledge and education in accessibility to construct radically inclusive spaces. Dedicated to her community and disability justice, Emilly’s practice articulates the precarity required to navigate the oppressive barriers within the built environment. Her practice is a catharsis for the discomfort of exclusion, channeling the same excessive energy required to navigate the inaccessible world into constructions of her own. Emily responds to her environment by reconstructing it into one where, the often unwanted, glitches act as structural integrity.
