Kyra Philbert is a queer performance artist focused on failing femininities. Based in Vancouver, BC, on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, Kyra creates ephemeral experimental works designed to be interactive and experienced exactly once. Her performances regularly incorporate critical history about Canadian Blackness and/or dessert (lately cake). During her Master of Science in Nursing degree, Kyra developed Nurse Angélique and was awarded a University of British Columbia Public Humanities Grant to showcase the performance. Her performances have been endured at Emily Carr University of Art and Design, SUM Gallery, and York University.
