Sandy Saad Smith is an Egyptian-Canadian curator, writer, and arts educator, and administrator from Scarborough. Much of her work considers the ways in which artists disrupt and subvert hierarchical systems and narratives. Her curatorial practice aims to bring new perspectives to seemingly fixed or frozen accounts and systematic structures while creating more accessible and meaningful ways of engaging with art and asking questions.
Sandy has held several positions in the arts including Curator of Exhibitions and Education at the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington, Public Engagement Coordinator at the Koffler Gallery, Education Coordinator at the Varley Art Gallery, and Curatorial Assistant at Art Museum of the University of Toronto. Sandy holds a Master of Visual Studies from the University of Toronto and is now an independent curator.
