Anouk Verviers
Recipient of the PRIM-Dazibao production-dissemination residency
Dazibao is pleased to announce that Anouk Verviers is the 2024–2025 recipient of the PRIM–Dazibao production–presentation residency. The artist is currently in residence at PRIM, where she is developing a new work that will be presented at Dazibao in fall 2025 as part of MOMENTA Biennale de l’image.
In her interdisciplinary practice, Anouk Verviers investigates systems of power, asking how they affect bodies and shape entanglements between us, others, and the matter around us. She lives and works in London UK and Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. Her work has been shown at Kupfer (London), Galerie UQO (Gatineau), OPTICA (Montréal), and Dogo (Switzerland). She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Université du Québec à Montréal (Montréal) and a Master of Fine Arts from Goldsmiths (London), where she was awarded the Acme Award for her thesis exhibition, as well as the Chelsea Arts Club Award. In 2024, she was awarded the Pauline-Desautels Prize. She is a member and the initiator of the Exhausted Feminist Hybrid Species reading group.
Dazibao thanks PRIM, MOMENTA and the artist for their generous collaboration as well as its advisory committee for their support.
Dazibao receives financial support from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Conseil des arts de Montréal, the ministère de la Culture et des Communications and the Ville de Montréal.
Dazibao acknowledges that it is located on the unceded territory of the Kanien'kehá: ka Nation and that Tiohtiá:ke / Montreal is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations, and today, is home to a diverse population of Indigenous as well as other peoples. Guided by ethics of respect, listening, and awareness, Dazibao commits to a continued reflection regarding the deep-rooted and systemic challenges tied to accessibility and inclusivity in the arts and beyond, and endeavors to apply such reflections to all aspects of its activities and governance.
