**Chun Hua Catherine Dong** est une artiste de la performance d’origine chinoise et résidant au Canada. Elle a été invitée à performer sur la scène internationale, notamment au _4th International Festival and Conference for Live Art and Performance Studies_ en Finlande et au _International Multimedia Art Festival_ à Burma. Son travail de performance apparaît dans le palmarès des neuf meilleurs projets d’art politique de 2010 du _Art and Threat_ Magazine, parmi des artistes reconnus internationalement tels Rebecca Belmore et Wafaa Bilal. Sa recherche actuelle _Performance Ethnography: a Method of Inquiry in Research of Visualization_, est soutenue par le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada, le Département des arts de l’Université Concordia ainsi que le Conseil des arts de la Colombie-Britannique.

**Zhou Yan** est née en Chine et vit présentement à Toronto. Elle détient une maîtrise d’Études muséales de l’Université de Toronto (Canada) et un baccalauréat de langue et littérature chinoise de la Northwest University (Chine). En tant que commissaire, elle a co-commissarié _The Transformation of Landscape In Canada: The Inside & Outside of Being_ pour le Musée d’art Xi’an, Chine, 2014, _Through the Body: Lens-based works by Contemporary Chinese Women Artists_ pour le Centre d’art de l’Université de Toronto, 2014, _Earthly Inspiration: The Expression And Process of Craft_ pour l’aéroport international Pearson à Toronto, 2011. Elle est également fondatrice et commissaire du projet _Montagneau Poetry & Art_ depuis 2012.

Zhou Yan s’intéresse à des projets d’art contemporain socialement engagés qui mettent l’emphase sur le féminisme, l’environnement et l’expérimentation artistique, de même qu’aux programmations qui questionnent les communications interculturelles et interfrontalières. Dans les trois dernières années, elle s’est consacrée au dialogue entre l’art chinois et canadien en organisant des expositions de même qu’en écrivant et en traduisant des articles critiques.

En tant que poète et traductrice, elle a également publié des traductions de Rilke, Ezra Pound, Al Purdy, Roo Borson, John Reibetanz, Andy Patton parmi plusieurs autres. Elle travaille présentement à la traduction de _Stag’s Leap_ par la lauréate du Prix Pulitzer Sharon Old ainsi qu’à celle de _The Selected Works of Elizabeth Bishop_.

She is also the founder and curator of _Montagneau Poetry & Art_ collaborative project since 2012.

Zhou Yan is interested in socially relevant contemporary art projects that emphasize feminism, the environment and experimental works, and in art programming that addresses cross-cultural and cross-boundary communications.
