Diversity Forum Speaker: Camille Larivée
Monday May 4, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT
The ARLIS/NA Diversity & Inclusion Committee is excited to welcome Camille Larivée, who will be giving a presentation entitled Resistance is Our Only Armour: Art as Insurrection. The presentation will be in English.

Camille Larivée is an award-winning street artist, independent curator, writer, and cultural worker based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyaang/Montreal, on Turtle Island (so-called Canada). Camille’s artistic and curatorial work is focused on amplifying what the dominant culture tries to suppress; from making space for invisibilized collective memories in urban public space, to reminders of the urgency of caring for local biodiversity. Camille will speak about their public art projects, exhibitions, and publications that they have brought to fruition in the past decade, and art as a force for challenging the status quo and claiming space and power.

Camille will trace persistent themes of combatting erasure and making the marginalized visible from the beginnings of their street art interruptions during the infamous 2012 Quebec Student Strike, through the foundation of their collective project, Unceded Voices: Anticolonial Street Artists Convergence, to their work with the Indigenous Curatorial Collective/Collectif des commissaires autochtones (ICCA) and their book about Francophone Indigenous art in Quebec, D’horizons et d’estuaires – Entre mémoires et créations autochtones. Camille will speak to how they prioritize the actions of diversity and accessibility in their current role as the Executive and Artistic Director at the Montréal, arts interculturels (MAI), a pioneering multidisciplinary venue in the Canadian art scene, and love and reverence in their independent artistic and curatorial practice today.

Le comité Diversité et inclusion de l’ARLIS/NA est ravi d’accueillir Camille Larivée.

Le Comité Diversité et inclusion de l'ARLIS/NA est ravi d'accueillir Camille Larivée, qui fera une présentation intitulée : « La résistance est notre seule armure : l'art comme insurrection ». La présentation sera donnée en anglais.

Camille Larivée est une artiste de rue primée, une commissaire indépendante, une écrivaine et une actrice du secteur culturel basée à Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyaang/Montréal, sur l’île de la Tortue (ce qu’on appelle le Canada). Le travail artistique et curatorial de Camille vise à mettre en lumière ce que la culture dominante tente de réprimer ; qu’il s’agisse de faire une place aux mémoires collectives invisibilisées dans l’espace public urbain ou de rappeler l’urgence de préserver la biodiversité locale. Camille parlera de ses projets d’art public, de ses expositions et de ses publications réalisés au cours de la dernière décennie, ainsi que de l’art en tant que force permettant de remettre en question le statu quo et de revendiquer un espace et un pouvoir.

Camille retracera les thèmes récurrents de la lutte contre l’effacement et de la visibilité des personnes marginalisées, depuis les débuts de ses interventions d’art urbain lors de la célèbre grève étudiante de 2012 au Québec, en passant par la création de son projet collectif, Unceded Voices : Anticolonial Street Artists Convergence, jusqu’à son travail avec l’Indigenous Curatorial Collective/Collectif des commissaires autochtones (ICCA) et son livre sur l’art autochtone francophone au Québec, D’horizons et d’estuaires – Entre mémoires et créations autochtones. Camille expliquera comment elle accorde la priorité à la diversité et à l’accessibilité dans son rôle actuel de directrice générale et artistique de Montréal, arts interculturels (MAI), un lieu multidisciplinaire pionnier de la scène artistique canadienne, ainsi qu’à l’amour et au respect dans sa pratique artistique et curatoriale indépendante d’aujourd’hui.
