Mila Figuet is a performance artist and writer based between TiohtiĆ :ke/Montreal and Paris.
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, resistance, and reappropriation through art.
Conceived as an extension of the performative experience, her writing practice articulates critical reflections on the issues surrounding the act of narrating violence. She develops situated and embodied texts, functioning as tools for archiving, reflection, and the transmission of these questions.
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.
