Miriam Ginestier
Miriam Ginestier (born 1968) is a Canadian interdisciplinary performance curator living and working in Montreal, Quebec. She is best known for her work as general and artistic director of Studio 303, Montreal's dance and interdisciplinary-arts centre. Between 1993 and 1995, Miriam Ginestier co-founded the feminist experimental performance festival Edgy Women in collaboration with Karen Bernard and Paul Caskey.[1][2]
Miriam has contributed to the Montreal creative community through her artist-driven approach to curation and production.[3] Along with public activities and performances, Ginestier's events have sought to create a community where people of various backgrounds can meet and share viewpoints, and have brought together various forms of feminism.[4] Her work as a freelance cultural event organiser for the lesbian community earned her the Arc-en-Ciel Award in 2003 for her contribution to the community. She was also responsible for the lesbian monthly dance party, Meow Mix, where she DJed as well.[5]
