Vernissage – Stories as a transformative catalyst by Clara

Join the vernissage on May 1st at les sans-taverne and step into the world of a talented artist exploring identity, memory, and transformation through her work.   Clara (she/her) is an Indian-Québécois transdisciplinary artist, educator, researcher, and community organizer working from an ecofeminist lens & to studying to become an art therapist. With the ethereal beauty of nature, Clara is inspired by the authentic connection & storytelling established between people, their narrative, and their well-being. Clara is passionate about using her artmaking as a platform for healing, fostering discussions, empowerment, and reclaiming identity. As a survivor of intimate partner violence, she makes use of her artistic process and platform to bring attention and tangible change to social justice issues, especially the concerning rise in femicides, and create a community of change-makers. Being interconnected organisms, she is enthusiastic about creating sci-art and conducting interdisciplinary research as each unique background helps to cultivate meaningful change & creations. She is also passionate about co-creating with community as this process of generating creative ideas, rescripting & refabrication of stories can be a transformative catalyst in rooting a networked community of thrivers.
