About Levin Ifko

Levin Ifko is a Queer and Trans interdisciplinary artist, writer, and musician. Blending practices in photography, fibre, and sculpture, his visual art is playful and intimate. Writing plays a large role in his practice; utilising words to conjure queer memories and imagine possible futures. As an avid collector of train tickets and a lover of street signage, he enjoys reflecting upon the roles that everyday objects have in shaping our perceptions of the world. Above all, he believes in art as a way of caring for ourselves and connecting with our communities.

Levin has shown their work across Alberta as part of Exposure Photography Festival, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program, The New Gallery, and most recently in a group show of Trans and Non-Binary artists at Stride Gallery. Levin is heavily involved with the local arts scene, where he enjoys working in a variety of different ways. This includes regular writing about exhibitions for the online publication Akimbo; collaborating with other artists to create audio, video, and design projects; as well as designing and facilitating arts programs with the National accessArts Centre. Levin received his BFA in Media Arts (2022) from the Alberta University of the Arts.
