McKenna Gray is a Toronto-based curator, critic, and activist whose methodology deliberately centres care. Originally pursuing graphic design, they transferred to OCADu’s Criticism and Curatorial Practices program after discovering a love of discussing arts and culture. McKenna believes that art is a powerful tool to understand ourselves and each other, as well as the ways in which history is shaped. Through academic research and community work, McKenna engages with vulnerable topics and populations to expand public understanding of equity and empathy, as well as critical thinking practices.
