Mason Smart is an artist, writer, and emerging curator.
Mason graduated in 2024 from OCADU with a BA in Visual and Critical Studies. He received the Visual and Critical Studies program medal of distinction, the Nora E. Vaughan Award.
Mason is passionate about working with the connective powers of transness in his practice. His work revolves around themes of reframing the urban environment as a collaborative project through critical frameworks. Within these interests, Mason works to envision care-based futures by thinking with harm reductionist ideologies and deconstruct the visual symbols that underpin relational norms.

I am grateful to be living, working, and becoming on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, including, in name, the Mississaugas of the Credit; the Wendake-Nionwentsïo, and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and acquired by "Canada" under Treaty 13/the Toronto Purchase. Living and working on these lands, I acknowledge my being and history as an interloper and endeavour to walk graciously on these lands.
