Bioplastic
— Archiving the Sensory: Workshop participants will be invited to create sensory artifacts—archives of their experience of a place—using bioplastics and organic elements collected by the artist. Participants are invited to bring their own basic materials if they wish. The various elements will be assembled into a living, evolving map that can continue to evolve within the exhibition space, according to each person’s desires.

Fenyx Florentiny is a Martiniquais·e visual artist, currently pursuing a master's degree at UQAM. Their hybrid practice, rooted in both Martinique and Quebec, draws inspiration from queer, decolonial, and ecofeminist thought. They create sensory ecosystems where the body becomes a place of archives, rituals, and reappropriation. Assemblage, contamination, failure, and care guide their transdisciplinary research, combining performance, experimentation, sound, and video. Their practice explores margins, interstices, and borders as fertile ground for creation, transforming the exhibition space into a field of shared experience.
