Artist Bio
Monica Victoria is a non-binary queer visual artist from Tiotiá:ke (Montréal). Monica Victoria creates primarily within expanded film mediums, exploring how traditional film forms can be cut-up and moulded, producing evocative original images and works. Their combination of music experience, film production training, and passion for community care and social justice create immersive audio-visual experiences while exploring powerful subject matter. Monica Victoria uses both analog and digital film tools to create hybrid artworks that serve as a medium to express experiences from more unconscious rawer states of mind.
