Artist Marie Samuel Levasseur is in a research-creation residency as part of Interrogating Access 2: From Learning to Action at OBORO from February to December, 2023.
She will discuss this work in progress in a public presentation on Thursday, October 11, 2023 at 5:30 pm at Monument-National. Free and open to all. Come early, space is limited. The activity will be in French with QSL interpretation.
During her residency Multiple narratives and sensory voices: the methodology of chatter applied in audiodescription and videodescription, which will span several months, she will implement this methodology through various stages of the audio- and videodescription process. Marie Samuel Levasseur plans to reflect on the notion of accessibility of alternative textuality through an intersectional approach (neurodiversity, gender, accent, race, origin, class); to explore plural points of view in order to question notions of neutrality and truth in videodescription; to experiment with a collaborative artistic practice of audio and videodescription; and to explore and test a variety of renderings and dissemination tools.

Marie Samuel Levasseur leads a multidisciplinary practice combining life and art and develops a collaborative creation approach through chatting. She uses multiplicity and micro-narrative to counter the unspeakable and to account for the plurality of identities in the expression of self-narratives related to significant life experiences. As a curator and editor at the Centre for Arts and Social Innovation of the National Theatre School of Canada, she participates in the development of laboratories and knowledge-sharing platforms aimed at well-being through creation. She holds a Master’s degree in Visual and Media Arts from UQAM and has completed exchanges in film at Université de Montréal and in micro-editing at EESI Poitiers-Angoulême. She has also completed graduate studies in pedagogy, focusing on accessibility and ableism, and is currently pursuing research in Native Studies.
