Tania Lara Casaubon
Tania Lara is a multidisciplinary artist and cultural worker based in Tio’tia:ke/Montreal. Through embroidery, weaving, and textile collage, she explores the relationships between territories, bodies, and narratives, creating delicate, fragmentary maps threaded with memories, playfulness, and encounters. Her practice includes a strong collaborative and educational dimension, which she develops through participatory projects, workshops, and co-creation processes, making textiles a space for dialogue, transformation, and collective imagination. Engaged in social and community work, she collaborates with La Polea, an art collective that creates spaces for critical reflection and exchange by and for people from immigrant backgrounds.
