Miriam Ginestier

Miriam Ginestier (born 1968) is a Canadian interdisciplinary performance curator living and working in Montreal, Quebec. She is best known for her work as general and artistic director of Studio 303, Montreal's dance and interdisciplinary-arts centre. Between 1993 and 1995, Miriam Ginestier co-founded the long running feminist experimental performance festival Edgy Women in collaboration with Karen Bernard and Paul Caskey.[1][2]

Miriam has contributed greatly to the Montreal creative community by her artist-driven approach to curation and production.[3] Along with public activities and performances, Ginestier’s events have sought to create a community where people of various backgrounds can meet and share viewpoints, and have brought together various forms of feminism.[4] Her work as a freelance cultural event organiser for the lesbian community earned her the Arc-en-Ciel Award in 2003 for her contribution to the community. She was also responsible for the legendary and greatly missed lesbian monthly dance parties, Meox Mix, where she DJed as well.[5]

Miriam has also performed on stage and in film, notably as flapper alter-ego, Fannie Nipplebottom.

Works

Curation
gollark: Intellectual property, not internet protocol address.
gollark: Most non-predictable-in-some-way numbers above 64 bits PROBABLY won't practically end up randomly turning up anywhere, but it's interesting.
gollark: An interesting consequence of intellectual property weirdness and the fact that I own some IP is that a veeeery large set of numbers representing reversible transforms of my IP are illegal to use in some ways without my permission.
gollark: Also idea: let's figure out how to procedurally generate gender identities?
gollark: But this idea would use minor variations in existing pride flags to avoid scrutiny.
