A sonic ritual builder, I use assistive technology to work faster: always up the ladder.
The five arcs that meet in my intentions are: embodied learning, active listening, participation, research-creation, and strategic utopia. An investigation into the intersections between performance practice and advocacy journalism is a recurrent theme: the former limited by its obligation to metaphor, the latter by its obligation to immediacy. |

The unifying thread in this work is a fascination with perceptual experience and representation that crosses the boundary between literary and visual art. Participating in WORDS & [ ] — A DURATIONAL CONFERENCE OF ART & THOUGHT allows me to critically revisit the relationship between language and aesthetics in a process-based participatory setting.

Sarah Chouinard-Poirier est une artiste interdisciplinaire qui travaille à proximité d’initiatives culturelles et communautaires à Montréal. Elle élabore ses performances comme des partitions d’actions contextuelles où la présence, le geste, la parole et l’objet concourent à créer une imagerie aussi sensible que radicale, à formuler une mythologie féministe et résistante. Ses recherches actuelles se situent au niveau du corps, de la parole-action, du rêve, des phénomènes empathiques, des utopies, du pouvoir et de ses systèmes d’oppression. De même, elle s’intéresse à la réappropriation des récits par les personnes et les communautés.
- Sarah Chouinard-Poirier is an interdisciplinary artist working closely with cultural and community-based initiatives in Montreal. She elaborates her performances by arranging contextual actions, mixing presence, gesture, speech and object, to compose an image as sensitive as it is radical, to create her own feminist and resistant mythology. Her recent work focuses on the body, spoken action, dreams, empathetic phenomena, utopias, power and systems of oppression. She is also interested in the reappropriation of narratives by people and communities. |
