Michaëlle Sergile is an artist and independent curator working mainly on archives including texts and works from the postcolonial period from 1950 to today. Her artistic work aims to understand and rewrite the history of Black communities, and more specifically of women, or communities living in diverse intersections, through weaving. Often perceived as a medium of craftsmanship and categorized as feminine, the artist uses the lexicon of weaving to question the relationships of gender and race.
She has exhibited at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ), the Musée d’art de Joliette (MAJ) and the Off Biennale de Dakar (Senegal). Her name was also on the long list of the prestigious Sobey Award for the Arts in 2022. In 2023, she won Visual Artist of the Year at the Gala Dynastie and began a residency at the Darling Foundry (Montreal). She exhibited in 2024 her work at the Art Museum at the University of Toronto and the McCord Stewart Museum (Montreal).
