Cécilia Bracmort

Cécilia Bracmort is a French born, Montreal based curator and artist. Her Caribbean heritage (from Martinique and Guadeloupe) influences her artistic and curatorial practices, that are focus on the notions of identity – individual or collective, memory and history. 

In her practice Cécilia considers herself as an art-listener and [art] matchmaker. Curious and full of ideas, her artistic and curatorial projects are made to connect worlds, social environments and concepts that are not usually mixing. Through her multi-focal vision linked to the different layers of her identity, Cécilia Bracmort’s projects seek to form bridges between far reaching themes she connects with such as sport, ecology, trauma and mythology. In this vein, her curatorial project Reclaiming My place/Résurgences presented at the Warren G. Flowers art gallery at Dawson College in 2019 and at the Lethbridge Center in 2021 featured the work of artists Cedar Eve, Shanna Strauss and Sharon Norwood and gave a better visibility for the work of WOC in the art milieu. 

Through her work, Cécilia aims to open doors to make visible new ideas and identities, and to encourage people to think outside the ‘white’ box and to invite them to see anew the world under a different lens. 

In 2017 Cécilia was the guest curator as part of the Montreal/Havana exchange, produced by RCAAQ in collaboration with the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Cuba. Since August 2018 she works at the artist-run centre articule, as administrative coordinator.
