Mila Figuet is a performance artist and cultural worker based between Paris and TiohtiĆ :ke/Montreal.
Her practice engages art as a tool for action and raising awareness, particularly in response to gender-based violence. Her projects take the form of participatory performances, public interventions, and audiovisual installations. By mobilizing the body as a site of memory, listening, and transformation, she examines structures of domination and the silences surrounding violence, as well as the possibilities for healing and resistance through art.
Alongside her artistic practice, her work as a cultural worker spans programming, curation, project coordination, cultural mediation, and archiving. Driven by a commitment to care, accessibility, and collective memory, she has held leadership and coordination roles within artist-run centers, performance festivals, and cultural organizations - supporting artists, building community-centered programming, and fostering inclusive, transformative spaces.
As a graduate in Fine Arts, specializing in Intermedia (Video, Performance, and Electronic Arts) from Concordia University, she has collaborated with cultural institutions and attended residencies in Canada, the United States, Bosnia, Mexico, and France.
