Emma Ongman is a visual artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal. Working between alternative image technologies and ceramics, she creates photographic objects that are shaped by chance and the practice of slowing down. Grounded in disability studies and ecofeminism, she embraces accidents and the recycling of found materials as reflections on healing and transformation.
Emma Ongman holds a BA (Honours) with Distinction from the University of Guelph and will begin her MFA in Studio Arts at Concordia University in September 2026. She has received support from the Fonds de recherche du Québec, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Guelph Arts Council. Her work has been developed through residencies at Céline Bureau, Roundtable Residency, and Ed Video Media Arts Centre. Upcoming projects include a group exhibition at McBride Contemporain, which she is curating in July 2026, and Regarde!, a group exhibition curated by Anaïs Castro and organized by the City of Montréal. She is currently an artist-in-residence at The Visual Arts Centre in Westmount, Quebec.
