Caroline Barber

The literature of Oulipo, the cut-up words of Dada and the exquisite corpses of Surrealism are Caroline Barber's favorite playgrounds. These literary devices place words at the heart of her creative practice. Words serve as vehicles of the imagination, graphic images and echoes in the material, just as they do in her work as an everyday empoetineuse.

She has been offering literary workshops in Montreal schools and libraries for over ten years, and participates in the Blue Metropolis Children's Festival and Fenêtres qui parlent. Her fifth children's album, Le vol, has just been published by Les 400 coups.
