Pop-Uptown Artists in Residence

Logaine Navascues is a Peruvian artist living and learning on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the Semiahmoo First Nation and the broader Coast Salish Peoples, in current-day White Rock. She is a visual storyteller, whose creative practice combines writing, visual arts and bookmaking, focusing on the interplay between words and images.

Logaine has an MA in Children’s Literature from UBC and has written a middle-grade Graphic Novel and several picture book manuscripts, along with three artist's books: Epístola & Diástole (2006); Random Reflections (2009), and aWAY: a Pilgrimage (Vancouver, 2021). She also facilitates workshops for children, youth and adults at institutions across BC.
