Jayden Dreher is an emerging interdisciplinary artist whose practice focuses on the multiplicities of Self and Other / Here and There / Now and Then. Through both collaborative and independent explorations he attempts to better understand Being in this Time and the intimacies of queer subjecthood, relationships, and space. Jayden situates his lived experience at the centre of his research and practices embodied forms of art making.
Jayden currently splits his time between Berlin and Vancouver (the unceded and ancestral lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nation)).
Jayden Dreher has recently finished his undergrad degree in art history and visual art at the University of British Columbia. He is currently exploring practices of queering archives and continues to think about Love and Loss.
Jayden is always looking for new relationships and collaborative potentials. Please contact if you would be interested in working together or chatting about art.
