Nicole Brasseur

Nicole Brasseur is an artist from Southwestern Manitoba. Her current practice is centered around mixed media sculpture and installations that speak to her lived experiences with chronic pain.
a chronic invisibility is a thesis exhibition that conveys the physical and psychological dis-ease that accompanies this invisible disability. For chronic pain sufferers, the need to articulate suffering is not solely restricted to medical intervention, but rather an urgency to communicate in a way that makes one feel seen and validated. By creating artwork that unveils these experiences, she hopes to make space for those in the disability community that struggle to feel visible.
Brasseur is committed to facilitating the accessibility of her exhibition.
A Sans Serif font has been used for all written information.
A window mask will be worn by Brasseur for the opening and all viewings.
Braille is available for the title wall, statement, and artwork labels.
QR codes are displayed on the title wall and thesis statement. When scanned, there an audio option for each.
QR codes next to each artwork will provide auditory identifications of the work.
Guided tours and ‘Touch Tours’ will be made available to individuals who are blind or have low vision.
