Brooke Toczylowski is an interdisciplinary artist and educator exploring our historical, ecological and social relationship to the land. By engaging in place-based investigations that engage the material and matter of local ecologies, her immersive work cultivates reflection and kinship with the natural world. 

Brooke is a recipient of 2024 and 2022 Artists Respond grants from the Connecticut Office of the Arts. For many years she was a printmaking resident at the Kala Art Institute, in Berkeley, CA. She is co-founder and the former Executive Director of Agency by Design Oakland, in Oakland, CA, which implements equity and maker-centered learning, and which grew out of collaborative research with Project Zero at Harvard. Brooke has almost 20 years of teaching experience—in Oakland, Marin City, CA, and New York City. From 2004 to 2006, Brooke lived in Venezuela and Guatemala, where she was a Creative Action Institute fellow. She holds a BA in Studio Art and American Studies from Williams College, a teaching credential from San Francisco State University, and is an MFA candidate at Lesley University.
