About The Mentors

Rita mckeough

I am an installation and performance artist based in Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.

My work incorporates audio, electronics, and mechanical performing objects. 

I consistently work from a feminist perspective, and my recent work focuses on the environmental impacts of resource extraction and demonstrates my desire to use sound to create a rhythmic voice of agency and empathy to articulate forces of resistance in the natural world.). 

I have been fortunate to have my work included in Caught in the Act: An Anthology of Performance Art by Canadian Women (YYZ Books, 2004) and Rita McKeough: Works (Emmedia, Truck Gallery and MST performative art festival, 2018). 

I feel very fortunate to have had the support and assistance of my community to produce my work and I offer my respect and love to everyone who has helped me.
