Artist Bio
Jacquelyn Hébert is a francophone artist from Winnipeg who works in film, video, mixed media and performance. She graduated from the Integrated Media program at the Emily Carr University of Art, Design and Media in Vancouver in 2008 and has a prior B.A. from the University of Manitoba. She also participated in an exchange program in 2007 where she studied at L'École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts (ENSBA) in Paris, France and had the chance to study with painter Abraham Pincas and new media artist Guillaume Paris. During 2008-2009, she was mentored by Dominique Rey as part of the MAWA Foundation Mentorship Program and recently participated in group exhibitions at The Graffiti Gallery in Winnipeg, and The Wood Co-Op Gallery in Vancouver. She is also a founding member of the Fire Pyxies Performance Art Collective and has performed at such events as the Winnipeg Folk Festival, the Harvest Moon Festival, The Element Sircus, the Regina Buffalo Days and the Festival du voyageur since 2003. Her current work in progress, The Memory Stitch: winter sports/les sports d'hivers, is an installation that recalls and reclaims discarded visual memories from the past through the lens of the intertwined and the unraveled. This mixed-media installation work will be shown at La Maison des artistes visuels francophones in an upcoming exhibition in the fall/winter of 2009-2010.
