Andrea Williamson is a collection of loving cells born of Scottish and English heritage in Calgary which is on Treaty 7 territory and the traditional territory of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Nakoda (Stoney), and Tsuut'ina. She earned a double major in Fine and Media Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and a Masters of Fine Arts at Goldsmiths with Distinction. Through her practice of art and education, she explores with others, the possibilities of multi-species cohabitation and appreciation. The work is intended for more than human communities and uses experiments with living materials as a sensitization towards connection and gratitude.
