About…

Camille Serisier is a visual artist who explores the power of visual storytelling as a force for positive social change. Through her work, Camille challenges and transforms narratives that influence the way we think about gender and identity. Her practice explores the language of storytelling in the visual and performing arts, including traditional and contemporary platforms of communication. She does this in her solo practice by retelling old stories through a contemporary feminist lens and creating new stories that have been left out of the historical register. Working collaboratively with women and community groups, Camille uses storytelling to nurture agency and facilitate diverse authorship.  She also collaborates with interdisciplinary researchers to show how creative engagements can enrich and diversify data collection. These experiences inform Camille’s approach to teaching, which embraces student feedback and individual creative goals.
