Founded in 2018, Studio Rat is a Canadian collective formed by artists Emily Allan (b. Toronto, 1997) and Dom Di Libero (b. Montréal, 1997). Connected by their ludic approach to making, the pair first met in 2016 while pursuing Interior Design degrees at Toronto Metropolitan University. As artists and educators, Emily and Dominique have developed and facilitated numerous workshops and curriculum including their collaborative research project “Making-with Plastic” (2021-present). Their work has been shown at events and exhibitions across Canada including Arsenal Contemporary Art (Montréal, 2024) Espace Transmission (Montréal, 2023), Nuit Blanche (Toronto, 2023), Art Nest for Toronto Outdoor Art Fair (Toronto, 2023), Artscape Gibraltar Point (Toronto, 2022), and in the United States, in collaboration with Maya Fuhr at SADE Gallery (Los Angeles, 2023).
