Helah is an interdisciplinary artist from Toronto who incorporates costume, drawing, sound and craft in her practice. She creates tactile sculptures that are made to be played with and touched, and collaborates with other artists to facilitate play and performance. She constructs non-linear networks between objects and people to find unexpected points of connection and create queer narratives.

A recent graduate of NSCAD University, Helah received a Talent Trust scholarship to participate in the 2018 Residency Program.
