Since the 1990s, Eva Quintas has pursued a photographic practice rooted in social and cultural perspectives with an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach. She has produced photographic exhibitions, web artwork, video installations, public space projects, and artist publications. Through an exploration of different narrative forms, her work interrogates the construction of identities, mythologies, and cultural territories. Her work has been presented in Canada, various European and American countries, Japan, and West Africa, in exhibitions, events, media art festivals, and on digital platforms. She combines her practice with cultural work related to policy, programming, mediation, and research. Co-founder of the digital art centre TOPO, she is also a member of La Traversée — Atelier de géopoétique and co-researcher at the Observatoire des médiations culturelles. Of Catalan origin, she lives and works in Montréal.

A Montréal native and newly trained guide, Michel Lefebvre is a writer, artist, and cultural manager whose work in digital arts spans a multidisciplinary and collaborative practice. He has contributed to the development of several digital projects, worked with archival collections to make them accessible online, and written numerous texts documenting initiatives that bridge artistic practice and the social sphere. His work and engagement have immersed him in Québec’s contemporary history as well as Montréal’s cultural landscape.

La Traversée is an interdisciplinary space for research and creation that brings together artists, writers, and researchers around a shared attentiveness to territories and living environments. At the intersection of artistic, literary, and reflective practices, we explore sensitive and critical ways of inhabiting, traversing, and narrating places.
