Join us on Tuesday, April 28, at 2 PM for a talk with Michèle St-Armand.

Conversations with Indigenous Curators is a new mini-series organized by the IFRC. Grounding curatorial practice as a site of futurity, relationality, and land-based thinking, this series highlights Indigenous curators working in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal) who are reshaping how exhibitions are conceived, who they serve, and how knowledge circulates. Through public dialogue, we will explore curatorial practices rooted in community accountability, language, and sovereignty.

Michèle St-Amand is a candidate for a master’s degree in research-creation
in art history at UQAM. She holds a master’s degree in clinical sexology
(UQAM), a certificate in visual arts (UQAM), a graduate-level microprogram
in art therapy (UQAT), and a certificate in museology and art exhibition
(UQAM). As a sexologist and psychotherapist for several years, she has
integrated art into her practice, primarily with women who are victims of
sexual assault and in post-traumatic interventions. She is currently
interested in the decolonization of Indigenous women’s sexuality through
artistic expression. Furthermore, she is committed to integrating Indigenous
protocols into research and curatorial practices. Michèle St-Amand is a member of the Wendat Nation.
