A partnership with the Embassy of Canada to France and the Canadian Cultural Centre

Gayle Uyagaqi Kabloona is a multidisciplinary artist from Ottawa, ON, who creates ceramics, prints, graphic art, wallhangings, knitwear and more. Kabloona’s work is inspired by the art of her grandmother, Victoria Mamnguqsualuk, and the colours and bold shapes of her great-grandmother, Jessie Oonark, and often incorporates traditional Inuit stories told through a modern, feminist lens.

Triangle-Astérides has partnered with the Canadian Embassy in Paris and the Canadian Cultural Center since 2021 for a yearly residence aimed at Indigenous artists living in Canada. In 2022, Nadia Myre was the first laureate of the residency program, in collaboration with the non-profit Indigenous artist-run centre Daphne in Montreal.
