Bonnie Whitehall is an interdisciplinary artist who works in film, textile art and collage. She completed a MFA in Documentary Film Media in 2021 at Toronto Metropolitan University where she studied the history of animal representation in cinema.

Whitehall’s creative practice explores interspecies care, grief rituals and shifting cosmologies. Her photo collage focuses on botanicals, taxonomy, ceremony and the life cycle. She is a lifelong advocate for animal wellbeing and devotes time to defending their rights. More recently, Whitehall has started a weaving practice where she is exploring how integral woven cloth is to human ritual and traceable throughout human existence.

Her practice is a combination of process-based, research creation and collaboration. Her work is DIY.
