Artists

Originally from Inukjuak, asinnajaq lives and works in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. Their practice spans photography, film, writing, and exhibition curation. They draw inspiration from their Inuit heritage, human rights, and what they call “the abundant beauty of the world.”

Mélanie O’Bomsawin is a member of the Abenaki community of Odanak and currently lives in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. A mother, a daughter and granddaughter, she is also an editor, video maker, and new media artist. Born to one Abenaki parent and one Québécois parent, she works with video to explore the ties of transmission and memory with those who came before her and those who will follow.

Curator

Camille Larivée is a street artist, exhibition curator, author, and cultural worker based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. Whether highlighting collective memories made invisible in public space or raising awareness on the urgent need to preserve biodiversity, their artistic and curatorial practice aims to amplify what dominant culture tends to suppress.
