Yvette Cenerini

Yvette Cenerini (née Lagimodière) is a francophone Métis visual artist from Treaty One Territory. Her work in photocollage examines the intricacies of relationships and emotions through a simple aesthetic. Having obtained both a BEd (2001) and a BFA (2010), knowledge-sharing through art in the forms of teaching and community engagement is an important facet of her practice.

Jepsoy

I am Jepsoy, a creative professional with over two decades of experience in branding, graphic design, and digital media. My career has focused on developing impactful visual solutions and compelling brand narratives. I am currently transitioning my expertise into web development, aiming to merge my strong design foundation with technical proficiency to create visually appealing and highly functional digital experiences.
My passion lies in the intersection of design and technology, with a particular interest in user experience and visual communication. I leverage my comprehensive design background to build engaging, user-centric digital products. Outside of my professional pursuits, I find creative expression through music and deejaying.

Arlea Ashcroft

Arlea Ashcroft is a French Anishinaabe/Saulteaux multi-disciplinary artist from Treaty 1 Territory, with ancestral connections to Minegoziibe Anishinabe (Pine Creek First Nation). Her creations often explore themes of mixed-blood identity, cultural heritage, mental health, and gender dynamics. Her art serves as a platform for storytelling and activism, particularly advocating for Indigenous communities and addressing social issues.
Ashcroft's style is recognized for its punk rock aesthetic and raw, confrontational elements, often challenging Western artistic norms by portraying subjects with sharp, vibrant, and sometimes dissonant visuals. She integrates personal experiences, community narratives, and historical contexts to create works that are both visually striking and emotionally evocative.
Her work has received local, national, and international attention, not only for its artistic quality but also for its role in fostering dialogue around identity and resilience. Ashcroft's impact highlights the transformative power of art as a medium for truth-telling, continuing to channel her raw, rebellious energy into her visual, multimedia, music, and literary works. She is happiest chasing sunsets and camping fireside under the stars.

Melvin Daligdig

Melvin Daligdig is an emerging Filipino filmmaker and photographer whose work focuses on perseverance, community, and exploring the unknown. While Melvin's main inspirations have been action/adventure films like Kung Fu Hustle (2004) and Upgrade (2018) he has recently enjoyed branching into the comedy and horror genres because of shows like Dollface (2019) and anthology series like V/H/S/94 (2021). His work has been showcased at the International Toronto Reel Asian Film Festival, the Fascinasian Film Festival, the International Gimli film festival, and the Bali International Short Film Festival. Looking ahead, Melvin is excited to collaborate with other creatives to blend genres, push creative boundaries and inspire the next generation of creators.

One Trunk Theatre

One Trunk was created in 2012 as a place to conduct theatre alchemy- mixing the ingredients and tinkering with the process in pursuit of new results- a new discovery of what theatre, and by association the human experience, can be. All of our work is new. One Trunk Theatre has changed and adapted the way we work while constantly asking our favourite question: what else can theatre be?
The purpose of One Trunk Theatre, is to seek the trunk where all artistic disciplines begin and through creation and collaboration, branch out to create innovative performance styles. One Trunk Theatre aims to offer creative spaces, processes and opportunities that allow artists to work to their full potential; and to expand the theatre art form, through collaboration and partnerships with other artists, students, community members and organizations. The process is as important as the product.
