Olivia McGilchrist

Olivia Mc Gilchrist is a white French-Jamaican multimedia artist and a doctoral student who explores how colonial heritage extends its reach into virtual reality (VR) technology. She has exhibited in Canada, Jamaica, the United States, Brazil, Germany, Norway, Austria, France, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Drawing on her experience as a white Euro-Caribbean woman and her research on the representation of her hybrid identity within contemporary Jamaican culture, Olivia explores how this identity can be represented in VR.
