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. She has exhibited across Canada and internationally, mostly
presenting at artist-run centres and DIY,
site-specific events. Her latest solo exhibition, Prefab Arcadia, was
presented at KAMU Museum in Finland in 2022. She has participated in multiple residencies, including in Québec, Denmark, Finland, and Germany. 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.
