Sometimes, people say
nice things.
“We were very grateful to have had her on our team.”

“Brnesh contributed to the Black On The Prairies project which helped elevate and complement the story of Lulu Anderson, an important figure in Alberta’s Black History for whom there are no images. It was a pleasure to have been able to work with her and witness someone committed to understanding and embodying the intent, history, and purpose of the work. Brnesh took ownership over her contribution sharing innovative ideas, necessary research, and detailed plans. She was engaged, responsive, and professional throughout the entire process–a pleasure to work with.”

“Brnesh worked with us to create the exhibition Surviving the Canadian Dream: Stories of Undocumented Families in Edmonton. The project was complicated not only because of its political aspect, but also because of the level of confidentiality needed to protect the identities of families who shared their stories. She continually shared her reflections during the process in order to create powerful images of heroes instead of the more commonly portrayed victim. We worked well together collectively and she took the time to mentor another artist involved. She was very reliable, deeply reflective, and communicative–we were very grateful to have had her on our team.”
