Massimo Guerrera 
Website
Massimo Guerrera uses different mediums, such as drawing, writing, photography, installation, and performance to work on the fertile space within processes of encounter, and its laminar movements. Between the experience of being-together and the solitude of the studio. It is an approach that focuses on the sensitive oscillations that characterize our relationships with ourselves and with others. Studying the porosity and the construction of identities, whether they are individual or cultural. Since 1989, Massimo’s performative approach has been articulated around the relationships that govern otherness and the environments we inhabit. These questions anchor themselves in a daily practice, and are connected and nourished by a meditative practice. The research is embodied within long-term projects in which collections take shape. It is work that is attentive to the processes of creation and listening, and to the different states of mind that can develop.

Khadija Baker

Khadija Baker a Syrian Canadian multidisciplinary artist of Kurdish descent. She immigrated to Canada from her native country in 2001 and completed her MFA at Concordia University in 2012. She is a core member of the Centre for Oral History & Digital Storytelling (COHDS) at Concordia University. Her installations and performances investigate social themes centered on the uncertainty of home as it relates to persecution, identity, displacement, and memory. As a witness to traumatic events, unsettled feelings of home are a part of her experience. Her multidisciplinary installations often combine textiles, sculptures, performances, sound and video. Through a participatory narrative, they create lively and active performance spaces that allow a greater understanding of the work. Khadija is currently pursuing her research creation practice at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture (CISSC) at Concordia University.

Katherine Josée Gervais 
Website
After years of working on construction sites, Katherine Josée Gervais turned to academic studies. Currently a doctoral student, her research focuses on the political discourse in action art that insinuate themselves to be at the intersection of performance art history, the individual artist, and the communities with which they interacts. Her multidisciplinary practice (drawing, performance, installation and text) is based on the observation of human relationships, history, and sociology. It also addresses the notion of authorship, the performative act, the elaboration of the artistic persona, and the authenticity of the artist’s word. Katherine Josée has participated in various group exhibitions and has presented her performances in spaces such as Martel en tête (Paris), Maison de la Culture Maisonneuve (Montreal), and Verticale (Laval). She has also implemented and co-organized several D.I.Y. artistic platforms including RIPA, Legs, GPS (global positioning system), and Boucane micropublishing. During the past few years, her main activities have consisted of her involvement in the local artistic community and her commitment to her research-creation practice.
