Kuh Del Rosario

Kuh Del Rosario is a visual artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, QC. Born in Manila, Philippines, she immigrated to Calgary, AB, earning a BFA in Painting from the Alberta College of Art and Design before completing an MFA in Sculpture and Ceramics at Concordia University. She has received numerous grants and awards, including The Peter Thompson Family Graduate Scholarship (2020), CALQ (2023), Canada Council for the Arts (2023), and The Claudine & Stephen Bronfman Fellowship in Contemporary Art (2024). Currently, she is an artist-in-residence at Fonderie Darling (2023–2026), supported by The Ouellette Family Foundation. Recent exhibitions include Worried Earth at The Art Gallery of Grande Prairie (Aug 2024), Déliquescence, plaisirs du chaos at Fonderie Darling (Sep 2024), and her upcoming solo show, An unhusked grain of rice fills the whole house, at B-312 (Feb 2025).  Her practice is rooted in an intuitive engagement with everyday materials, transforming found debris into alchemic dialogues that explore time and place. Kitchen waste, single-use plastics, and foraged vegetal matter merge through reciprocal processes and tricky collaborations. Inspired by her diasporic experience and early disconnection from her homeland, Del Rosario cultivates a sensitivity to evolving ecosystems—her work serving as a strategy for grounding.
