Frédérique Ulman-Gagné – CUSTOM RESIDENCY
I‘ve been fortunate enough to take part in a number of creative residencies focused on screen–printing, which have enabled me to embark on a long–term, multi–chapter project to which I‘d like to contribute once again. Each new section of this research presents a group of objects listed in no particular order and repeated in various configurations. These collections of objects generally symbolize a place or an event. For Notre honte sera une révolte, I‘ll be working with a new group of objects taken from women‘s intimate and collective narratives that I‘ve collected over the course of my research.
