MFA Thesis: Breanne Jeethan: The System is Broken
Breanne Jeethan The System is Broken
The System is Broken is a body of work based on the artist's experiences as a worker in the Emergency Department of a hospital. The series represents abstract scenes of the clinical workspace and is a response to the fast-paced, stressful environment that is rife with trauma, high emotions, and anguish. Working between the emergency room and her studio, the artist uses the symbiotic relationship between the two workplaces as a fuel to create her work. By manipulating and distorting found imagery created by various medical technologies, abnormalities in the imagery are created to signal the bureaucratic structures and power imbalances that undermine healthcare. The resulting series speaks to both the artist’s continuous navigating of her state of in-betweenness, but also to the overarching hierarchical nature of the medical system.
Breanne Jeethan (she/her) is a multi-disciplinary artist and healthcare worker based in Mississauga/Toronto, Ontario. Her experience in graphic design has projected her practice in a mix of analog and digital printmaking. Her practice explores themes of the body, medicine, and trauma with the use of internal imagery like X-rays, ultrasound scans, and angiogram brain scans. She has displayed her work at Durham Art Gallery, Durham; Xpace Cultural Centre, Toronto; Northern Contemporary Gallery, Toronto; and Small Arms Inspection Building, Mississauga. She is the recipient of the Sylvia Knight Award in Fine Arts (2025).

Table Talk Series: Collecting and Understanding Queer, Trans and Non-Binary Data
Staff and faculty are invited to join us for an insightful presentation on the challenges and best practices for collecting and interpreting data about queer, trans, and non-binary communities. We’ll explore what constitutes "queer and trans" data, the issues associated with "straightwashing" and "ciswashing," and how to critically analyze survey and questionnaire results. Plus, we’ll share key recommendations for ensuring safety, anonymity, and confidentiality in data collection, storage, and reporting.
The session will conclude with the opportunity for open discussion and questions.
Bring your lunch and join this important conversation!
