In her work, Michelle Wilson explores the use of inter-media art as a conduit for imagining alternate political and personal realities in which non-human animals are afforded relational and differentiated rights. Wilson received her BFA from the University of Ottawa in 2005 and graduated with highest honours from the School of Photographic Arts, Ottawa in 2008. In 2015, she successfully defended her MFA thesis, ANIMA: Visual Art as a Vehicle for Exploring Other Modes of Relatedness at the University of Manitoba. She is currently a third-year Ph.D. candidate in Art and Visual Culture at the University of Western Ontario.
