About
Join featured artist Camille-Zoé Valcourt-Synnott online for a discussion on her practice and her experience as an Artist residing in Canada.
Camille’s work is featured in our current exhibtion There’s no work in the arts, but so much to be done.
Camille ‑Zoé Valcourt-Synnott (she/her) is a multidisciplinary visual artist and arts worker from Quebec (QC). She graduated with a BFA (Print Media) from Concordia University in 2018 and an MFA from NSCAD University in 2020. Her performances reflect on the value of the artist’s work, perceptions of productivity and where life and art meet. Referencing everyday tasks, (un)remunerated work and invisible labor, her practice points to the flaws already present within the arts but that are, too often, not acknowledged. She is interested in the intersections between labor, gender and class dynamics, and how they all play a part in making certain audiences feel welcome in different art spaces. Her performances and text-based works have been shown in artist-run centers and galleries across Canada.
