Rema Tavares

Rema Tavares is the Founder of Mixed in Canada (MIC), a national cultural resource centre for mixed-race identified Canadians. She is also an artist and has been photographing mixed-race identified Canadians since 2011. These photos have shown in several exhibits including “Defining Moments: Discovering our Canadian Stories”, a year-long international show of work by 26 youth under 30. Rema has also been asked to speak at the “Spaces of Multiraciality: Critical Mixed Race Theory” course at the University of Toronto, at Ontario Public Services regarding mentorship and diversity, as well as Elementary Schools and radio shows about her work with MIC. Rema is 1/3rd of the 3MW Collective, three women portrait artists using visual art as a vehicle to deconstruct mixed-race identity.
