Jenni Schine is a sound artist born and raised in the traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, where she currently lives.
Her hope is to make art that is ecologically accountable and builds relationships in a reciprocal manner. A big fan of public engagement, Jenni has extended her work into art installations, film, radio, and soundscape compositions. As an educator, she teaches in both urban and rural environments and uses teaching as a conduit to connect artists with scientists. Jenni is a 2021/22 Action Canada Fellow and currently serves as the SoundWorks Associate Editor of the BC Studies Journal and as a board member for the Western Front, an artist-run centre in Vancouver. She holds a MA in Acoustic Communication from Simon Fraser University and a BA in Anthropology from the University of Victoria. She continues to un-learn from relationships built in community and is grateful for this education.
