Arts Nova Scotia and the Creative Nova Scotia Leadership Council congratulate Lux Gow-Habrich! Selected to receive a 2024 Emerging Artist Recognition Award.
Lux Gow-Habrich (星尘)
Lux Gow-Habrich (星尘) is an interdisciplinary visual artist of mixed, second-generation Chinese and German heritage. They blend movement, craft and creative community practices to redefine our understanding of art and cultural praxis as sacred remedial forces that can deeply transform and mend. Lux’s interest in the body as archive, cultural objects and commemorative practices weave together complex diasporic experiences of loss and belonging, and embodied hybridization in blood and spirit - to unearth individual and collective untold stories and unspoken legacies of disabled, queer grief and empowerment. Committed to developing inclusive creative platforms, and reimagining cultural futures, Lux’s practice is an expression rooted in relational and access dreaming. She has participated in a variety of residencies focused on process and experimentation, collaborating with fibre and clay of the land to honour relationships with these ancient materials. They have exhibited work across Turtle Island and received numerous provincial and federal grants.
