Justine Woods

Justine Woods is a garment-artist, creative scholar, educator and curator whose research and creative practice explores epistemological, ontological, and material complexities in expansive, loving, and caring ways. Stretching across fields of study, including but not limited to, fashion studies, performance and embodiment, and research-creation, Justine’s work passionately situates fashion as a pluriversal phenomenon. Justine holds a Bachelor of Design in Fashion Design from Toronto Metropolitan University, a Master of Design in Interdisciplinary Art, Media and Design from the Ontario College of Art & Design University, and is currently a PhD Candidate in Media and Design Innovation at Toronto Metropolitan University. Centring garment-making as a practice-based method of inquiry, her doctoral dissertation explores place-based fashion knowledges and their role in re-connecting Indigenous ontologies and bodies to place.

Justine's work has been included in both solo and group exhibitions across Canada and in Australia, hosted by the Art Gallery of Guelph, MacLaren Arts Centre, FINA Gallery, Fifty Fifty Arts Collective, Design TO and UTS Gallery & Art Collection. Her writing has been published in a variety of scholarly journals including Fashion Studies, Pathways: The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education and Scene, and in edited volumes published by Palgrave Macmillan.
