El Bush
| El is an interdisciplinary writer, researcher, and designer currently pursuing their M.A at McGill University in Communication Studies with a Gender and Women's Studies speciality. Both their artistic and scholarly work explores the intersections of gender, labour, and technology with a specific interest in domestic labour and practices. They currently work as an archivist for the Feminist Student News and Protest Archive (SNAP) and are the Editor in Chief of Intercom! Zine, a student-led publication in Communication Studies. They completed their B.A at McGill University in English Cultural Studies, Communications, and Art History, during which time they became interested in how feminist media making, art making, and DIY practices can serve as a valuable method for knowledge cultivation and political commentary. El’s most recent project “Gender Entanglements”, completed in 2025, is a research/creation project that centres their own practice as a textile artist to explore the often erased role of weaving and women’s labour within the history of technology. El also works as a graphic designer and loves to fiddle around with film photography in their free time! |
