Brittni S. Winkler

Brittni began creating work while enrolled in an MFA Curatorial Studies program at Florida International University. Around this same time, she started to practice yoga. Her creative inspirations of this profound period involved identifying a connection between the creation of space in the physical and mental body while practicing yoga with the creation of space as an artist and curator of art exhibitions. Since then, she’s developed several live performances with yoga and paint as well as a workshop called “Body as Brush” in which participants create their own yoga paintings using their bodies. In April, Brittni curated an exhibition at AC Institute titled Barely Perceptible, about how artists respond to the turn to digital worlds, gaming, screens and virtual reality. In the future, she hopes to found a multidisciplinary community space, gallery and yoga studio for art and healing.
