Spotify       Apple Podcasts     

A rich dialogue unfolds between these two artists and cultural mediators, exploring the connections between their artistic practice and their role in cultural mediation with diverse audiences. Practicing cultural mediation from a participatory and collaborative perspective involves listening closely to audience reactions while offering them tools to better understand public and contemporary art. They become catalysts for change, helping us to see art differently.

Episode 2 (released Tuesday, September 30): arkadi lavoie lachapelle and Ileana Hernández Camacho

Two performance artists come together in an authentic and intimate dialogue. While grounded in their identities, their artistic practices break through the boundaries that feel too narrow. Their artistic strategies allow them to navigate identities—imposed or chosen—while fostering connection and emancipation. Their work is infused with a balance of humor and drama. For one, embracing humor is a way to pause and breathe. For the other, playfulness brings a sprinkle of joy, since being an artist, a woman, and an immigrant can be demanding. Altogether, this approach opens space for a more intuitive creative process and a welcoming of one’s full self.

As part of the Belgo Fall Season Kick-off, the Centre des arts actuels SKOL hosted an evening of performances and art action on Thursday, September 11, 2025, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The evening featured unique performances prepared by artists participating in Confluences en balado.

This event also marked the official launch of Confluences en balado, imagined by Laurence Beaudoin-Morin and Johanne Gauthier. The podcast aims to highlight and promote artists who are current or former members of SKOL. It creates opportunities for dialogue between two artists about their practices, approaches, research themes, and concerns.

The Belgo kick-off brought together six of the artists featured in the podcast: arkadi lavoie lachapelle · Renata Paciullo Ribeiro · Julie-Isabelle Laurin · Ileana Hernández Camacho · Tatiana Koroleva · Jean-Philippe Luckhurst-Cartier.
