christine Brault
Christine Brault lives and works in Tio'tià:ke/Montreal. As a transdisciplinary artist, she creates performative actions and in situ interventions, depending on the context, from a poetic and artivist angle. Her research concerns issues of migration, border identity, human rights, violence against women and the land. Through her explorations and experiments, she seeks to create a performative dialogue evoking a certain form of ritual linked to the land, to human beings, their languages, their transformations.
A graduate of UQÀM with a master's degree in visual arts, and currently a doctoral student in art studies and practices, she questions the reception of artivist performances that take place in the public space, outside of institutional settings. She is a regular participant in various performance events in Mexico and other Latin American countries, and has also presented her work in Quebec, Canada, Europe, China and the United States.
In addition, she has participated in two events of the Hemispheric Institute (NYU) Encuentro IX (Montreal, 2014) and Encuentro X (Santiago de Chile, 2016).
