Chris Dufour
January 2025 – April 2025
Chris Dufour is an interdisciplinary artist working across several territories on turtle island, including Kanien’kehá:ka and Mi’gma’gi. Chris uses mediums of plants, gardening, textiles, quilting, installation, darkroom manipulation, leather tanning, and sculpture in their work. Chris values projects which seek to utilize material practices as a facilitator, to process connections and relationships to ecologies, modalities of care, alternative futures, and ruminations about world building.
Caroline Ariane Bergeron
May 2023 – May 2024
Caroline Ariane Bergeron is a multidisciplinary artist from Montreal. After obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from Concordia University in 2013, she pursued numerous specialized training programs, primarily in ceramics and printmaking. Her work combines various traditional craft techniques and stands out for its focus on applied manual labor and well-executed craftsmanship. Adopting slow working methods, she favors analog technologies over their contemporary counterparts, in response to the accelerated production pace dictated by the current growth-driven ideology. Through sculpture, installation, printmaking, and artist books, she explores themes of language, intimacy, and resilience.
