Nadia Myre,
is a contemporary visual artist from Quebec and Algonquin member of the Kitigan Zibi Anishinaabeg First Nation, based in Montreal. For her first solo exhibition in France, she continues her long-standing research into the historical links between Europe and North America, and the forms of colonialism that persist in contemporary society. For more than a decade, Nadia Myre has used public participation as a strategy for initiating a dialogue on identity, resilience and the politics of belonging. In 2022, she presented several of her works in the exhibition Lignes de fuite at the CIAPV, and was hosted in residency in 2023 and 2024 in preparation for this exhibition.
