Curator in residence Michele Fiedler discusses her curatorial practice and current work in progress in an online conversation on Zoom as part of our Residency of the Americas program. Having moved to Montreal recently, Michele Fiedler was fortunately able to carry out her research at Fonderie Darling, under exceptional circumstances considering  the current travel restrictions imposed on international resident artists.

In this conversation, Michele Fiedler will present her journey, discuss the many challenges of reconciling issues mobility and the pandemic situation, and unveil the premises of a collaboration with Art+Feminism, a digital platform run by an international community of cultural workers that bridges the information gap on gender, feminism and the arts on Wikipedia. Initiated during her residency at Fonderie Darling, this collaboration with Art+Feminism will take shape next year in the form of workshops and edit-a-thons bringing together artists, researchers and activists from Montreal (Quebec), Mexico City (Mexico) and San Juan (Puerto Rico).
