Residency Biographies:

(ALASKA AIR) Jenny Cartwright explores capitalism and the injustices it creates from a working-class perspective. Characterized by extensive research, her creations address democracy, feminist struggles and labor. Always taking the side of those pushed to the margins, she works to rekindle both anger and hope. Moving from classic narrative to experimental films, and from multiscreen installations to sound art, Cartwright challenges cinematic conventions, blending documentary rigor with formal experimentation. Jenny Cartwright lives and works in Tiohtià:ke / Montreal. Her work was presented in 17 countries at festivals, theaters and galleries.

(ALASKA AIR) David Cherniak is interested in the moving image, its role in reproducing contemporary power structures, and its subversion. The omnipresence and uniformity of digital images lie at the heart of his practice. Coming from documentary production, he works as a film director and cinematographer. His engagement with sound art and radio documentary has led him to develop immersive sonic experience projects and multi-screen installations. Cherniak is based in Tiohtià:ke / Montréal, where he is an active member of the artist-run center article.
