Sylvan Hamburger is a visual artist working in printmaking, installation and public art. His practice often engages community collaboration, discarded objects and demolished architecture to explore notions of belonging, memory and placemaking amidst changing landscapes and cultures. Sylvan’s work is shaped by specificities of place, notably his community of East Vancouver within the unceded homelands of the the Xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Selílwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
