Sophia Borowska is an artist and weaver based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. Her installation-based work explores the intersection between textiles, the body, and the built environment. Borowska’s research delves into process and place, responding to specific sites through haptic and obsessive textile practices. Beginning her textile studies at the Capilano University Textile Arts Program, Borowska went on to complete her BFA in Fibres and Material Practices at Concordia University in 2016. Her final year thesis project on digital weaving resulted in a book and website entitled Data Excess (www.data-excess.com). This research into digital culture led her to join the board of administrators at Ada X, a feminist artist-run centre supporting new media arts, in 2019. Borowska has exhibited across Canada, mostly presenting at artist-run centres and DIY, site-specific events. Some spaces that have particularly informed her career include articule and La Centrale in Montréal, Gallery Jones in Vancouver, and Centre Matéria in Québec. Her latest solo exhibition, Megastrukturer, was presented at Pakhus Gallery in Denmark in the spring of 2020. She has participated in residencies at Kunstkollektivet 8B and La Maison des métiers d’art de Québec. Borowska’s sculptural approach to weaving and textiles has earned her grants and awards from institutions including the Handweavers’ Guild of America, Canada Council, CALQ, and SODEC.
