Pallina Michelot

Pallina Michelot is a young Afro-Quebec artist, actress and a professional theater designer. She is a specialist in project management, stage direction and artistic direction for events. Pallina is an an attentive project manager and she works with a variety of partners to bring projects to fruition - from the ideation phase through to production. She has developed a keen interest and expertise in representing artists, artisans and cultural managers. Over the years, Pallina Michelot has consolidated a particular interest in equity, diversity and inclusion in this industry. Her meticulous and creative approach to art is based on a principle of inclusive and intersectional democratization - art should be accessible to all. Pallina has been involved in a number of projects addressing representation issues across Quebec. She has been a consultant for many years and has collaborated with many of Canada's leading companies and organizations. She is also involved in a number of research, discussion and consolidation/mutualization projects, which led her to co-found in 2021 the "Agence On est là" organization, where she has reinforced her solid management experience. Positive and ambitious, but also down-to-earth and human, Pallina Michelot is an energetic force who spares no effort in carrying out the mandates she is given.

    United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

    When it comes to community impact projects, the UN has created 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These are the Sustainable Development Goals associated with my project.

      Project Impact

      To become one of the leading creative companies on Turtle Island for the representation and employability of BIPOC and marginalized artists/artisans/cultural managers in the cultural industry and to address several EDI issues in it

      Project Mission

      Priority 1: Create opportunities for professional development and employability by consolidating a pool of professional BIPOC and marginalized artists, artisans and cultural managers who can respond to the various mandates to which they belong. Priority 2: Promote greater visibility for emerging artists, as well as spaces for learning, employability, professional development, and deepening (mediation, research and exploration) of the artistic approaches of artists, artisans and cultural managers from BIPOC and marginalized communities.

      Project Team

      Being ourselves members of marginalized cultural communities, we are creators from the communities concerned, and therefore understand and are sensitive to the creative needs of these communities. Therefore, we can ensure better representation of the creative needs of artists in production, as well as better representation within partner organizations seeking to hire these creators.
