About the Artist
Exhibition: "We Have Issues’
This exhibition comes from a peaceful comic illustration outcast from Waterloo — the kind who grew up surrounded by textbooks, punk scenes, anti-hero myths, the hum of our lonely immigrant rootless identity, not accepting "imaginary settler civility".
Kumary Chiquinquira Ponnambalam (she/her/they) didn’t set out to be an artist. She is a forestry scholar, wicked solo traveler, library hound, and avid street dancer who loves walking, noticing how sidewalks crack and fragile plants push through. Her mom, Tiuley Alguindigue, is a Venezuelan folk musician, the daughter of a famous reporter and serious road trip adventurer, turned insurance software engineer/ engineer instructor at the University of Waterloo and a theologian — raising her child with her worldview of seeking truth, being good friends and confidence.
‘We Have Issues’ is a tribute to that spirit: a celebration of all the awkward, collectively enigmatic Kitchener-Waterloo culture we make sense of through stories, even in darkness, perfecting truth in chaos, being in trouble and heartbreak for happiness.
