Angela Fama (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist devoted to social practice and community-focused projects, interweaving lived and collective experience in areas such as identity, trauma, death and belonging. Fama approaches creativity with an intersectional commitment to transparency, accountability and care; working to offer intersectional and inclusive environments where all identities are welcome, including 2SLGBTQIA+, IBPOC and those with visible or invisible disabilities.

Born in Tennessee (on The Farm) as a varied-generation French/Italian/unknown settler, Fama was raised in Ontario and Zimbabwe and currently lives on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh Nations (also known as Vancouver BC).

Fama holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Emily Carr University of Art and Design, a Professional Photo-Imaging Diploma from Langara College, and is trained as a death doula. Fama facilitates conversations relating to grief, death and dying, is a gender-based violence prevention facilitator and an assistant for Wheel-of-Consent Immersive Workshops with Helen De Felice. Additionally, Fama has volunteered with sexual violence support resources, and holds long-standing experience as a musician, commercial photographer, journalist, and speaker. Through this intermeshing of experiences, Fama cultivates gathering familiarity holding space for, and with, multiple truths while being committed to unlearning, learning, and unlearning — again and again.
