Mel Izanami
Mel Izanami was born and raised in Mexico, where he became aware of deep contradictions in his identity—contradictions that, over time, shaped not only his academic development but also his experience as an immigrant in Argentina. These experiences have influenced his thinking and his ongoing quest to rethink the structures we take for granted as Mexicans, Latin Americans, or inhabitants of a colonized continent.
Mel Izanami currently resides between Argentina and Mexico, creating and collaborating on multidisciplinary audiovisual projects. His work explores themes related to memory, technology, and decolonization.

The arts and culture sector in French-speaking Canada and Acadia, not including Quebec, employs more than 36,100 people and generates more than $5.63 billion annually, making it an important pillar of the socio-economic development of our communities. The Federation is proud to have been the sole political voice for arts and culture in the Canadian and Acadian Francophonie since 1977, the year it was founded in Winnipeg.
Pascale Tétrault
Pascale Tétrault is a pluridisciplinary artist and poet based in Montreal, whose work unfolds at the intersection of writing and electronic art. With a background in literature and interactive media, she then completed a Master’s in Studio Arts at Concordia University in 2024, where she explored through the creation of machine-sculptures themes related to language, memory, and technological craftsmanship. Since 2019, she parallelly has collaborated as a creative technologist and programmer, developing interactive systems for and with various artists and designers. Also an educator, she has been teaching programming and digital creation for the past seven years in various artist-run centers and schools such as SAT, Eastern Bloc, and AdaX. Pascale’s works take the form of hybrid objects that merge materiality, poetry, and electronics to recount stories in the physical space. Her practices as an artist, collaborator, educator, and technologist are now inseparable, continuously informing and nourishing one another.
