Evann Siebens makes media, performance and photos with movement. Her lens-based practice negotiates the human body as an archival site and the politics of the female gaze. She danced professionally before attending film school at NYU, shooting dancers such as Mikhail Baryshnikov, Bill T. Jones and Lucinda Childs in NYC as a dance cinematographer. Evann, in collaboration with Keith Doyle and 43 artists, released the book ‘Pedestrian Protest’ published by the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2025. Recent exhibitions include: Trieste Contemporanea (2025), Surrey Art Gallery (2025), Cloud Seven (2024), Vancouver Art Gallery Offsite (2021), MACBA (2021) and Kunstinstituut Melly (2020).
Patryk Stasieczek is a Polish-Canadian 2SLGBTQIA+ visual artist whose practice explores photography as an embodied, interdisciplinary queering of image histories, actions, and materials. Their research is informed by an investment in pedagogy and curation that delves into the emergent conditions of photography and the physical relationships images create as forms of experiential knowledge. Patryk’s work as an artist has been featured in collaboration with the Pensacola Museum of Art (USA), Peripheral Review (CA), Anna Leonowens Gallery (CA), Centre Clark (CA), Libby Leshgold Gallery (CA), and the Magenta Foundation (CA). Stasieczek is Assistant Professor of Photography at NSCAD University.
